What if the French Revolution wasn’t just history… but a full-blown, fourth-wall-breaking comedy?
In this episode, we dive into The Revolutionists, Lauren Gunderson’s bold, irreverent, and wildly entertaining play that reimagines 1793 Paris through the voices of four fierce women who refuse to stay silent.
Meet Olympe de Gouges, a playwright fighting to make her words matter. Charlotte Corday, an assassin determined to change the course of history. Marie Antoinette, the ribbon-loving former queen living in her own reality. And Marianne Angelle, a revolutionary force representing the fight against oppression beyond France’s borders.
Part comedy, part commentary, and part theatrical rebellion, The Revolutionists explores feminism, activism, legacy, and the power of chosen sisterhood—all while questioning its own story in real time.
It’s sharp. It’s chaotic. It’s hilarious. And it’s more relevant than ever.
Catch The Revolutionists at Black Swamp Players, running April 24–26 and May 1–3.
