Set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, Lauren Gunderson’s
The Revolutionists is the hilarious story of 4 badass women, how they support one another, and how they cope with a revolution that, at best, does not include them, and, at worst, is coming for 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. The heart of this theatrical journey is the relationships between the women and their unique messages of
Liberté, Egalité, and
Sororité.
Character Breakdown:
CHARLOTTE CORDAY – 25, Badass country girl and assassin. Very serious, hardened by righteousness.
MARIANNE ANGELLE – 30’s, Badass Black woman in Paris. She is from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working for abolition. Tough, classy, vigilant, the sanest one of them all.
MARIE-ANTOINETTE – 38, Less badass but fascinating former queen of France. Bubbly, graceful, opinionated, totally unaware, unintentionally rude, and oddly prescient. Never had a real friend.
OLYMPE de GOUGES – 38, Badass activist playwright and feminist. Theatre nerd, excitable, passionate, a showwoman. Widowed and never remarried to ensure her personal freedom.
NOTE – All actors should be comfortable singing a capella.
