THE REVOLUTIONISTS is a tragicomedy (or maybe a comitragedy?) set during the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. Writer Olympe de Gouges, desperate to contribute and make her mark, struggles to save the Revolution from the men who are screwing it up. Help arrives in the surprising forms of a spy fighting on behalf of Haitian freedom, an assassin desperate for a good line, and even the former Queen of France who is just trying to make sense of change. Together these four women will use words, knives, tons of ribbons, and incredible courage to take on the misogynistic patriarchy of the French Assembly. They will challenge the notion of revolution itself, and they will tackle the question of whether art can truly make a difference during a time of complete political chaos.
