The TCAN Players present Lauren Gunderson’s The Revolutionists, a comedy in two acts directed by Alison Walters-Short.
Paris, France, 1793: The Reign of Terror. Four beautiful, badass women conspire, plot murder, and resist extremist insanity. Join Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle as they hang out before each of them loses their…heads.
This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.
