The Revolutionists

Lauren Gunderson’s comedy The Revolutionists brings four striking historical figures together in Paris during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror: playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle. As their sharply different lives converge amid upheaval, the play mixes irreverent humor with questions of art, activism and the risks of speaking out. This STAR Centre presentation pairs the reading with a featured-brew tasting before the performance. Expect a lively, thoughtful evening where political turmoil meets wit and the stories of four women take center stage.
