THE REVOLUTIONISTS Runs Nov. 15-23

THE REVOLUTIONISTS
Lumos Players
Nov. 15-23
Lakeview UCC [Maineville]

Directed by Ashley Herbert
Produced by Corey Nieman

Cast: Jacqlyn Schott as Olympe De Gouges, Anecia Johnson as Marianne Angelle, Christine Gallagher as Charlotte Corday & Emma McGee as Marie Antoinette

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen and fan of ribbons Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and theater, feminism and activism, 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.” – Dramatists Play Services
