ABOUT THE REVOLUTIONISTS

 

The Revolutionists will not be televised. It will be dramatized, by Violet Surprise Theatre!

 

Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Iris Sowlat, The Revolutionists is a hysterical and historical (or, more accurately, herstorical) play that invites audiences to experience the French Revolution from a female perspective. Perfect for theatre-lovers, history buffs and those who internally (or externally) cheer when a dynamic female lead takes the stage. ​

 

Don't pardon our French- pardon our Frenchwomen and their très merciless treatment during the Reign of Terror! ​

​
