The Revolutionists

by Lauren Gunderson

A regional premiere production, presented in Season 12

September 14 – October 8, 2017 

You may think you know Marie Antoinette. You don’t. You may believe you can outsmart Charlotte Corday. You can’t. You may have never heard of Olympe de Gouges. You will. In this irreverent, girl-powered comedy, these women live, die, and dare boldly in revolutionary Paris during the Reign of Terror. Liberté, égalité… sororité.

“While it’s far too early in a promising Colorado theater season to state you’ll not see a better ensemble playing off each other with such fine aplomb, the bar has been raised.” (Denver Post)
