Synopsis: Four beautiful, badass women are reimagined as the heroes of the French Revolution in this passionate new girl-powered comedy. Think a hip Tina Fey sensibility with wigs and corsets!

Badass activist, playwright, and feminist. Theatre nerd, excitable, passionate, a showman. Widowed and never remarried to ensure her personal freedom.
