SUMMARY:Quannapowitt Players Presents Lauren Gundersons’ “The Revolutionists”
DESCRIPTION:January 24 – February 8!\nReading\, MA — 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 activism\, feminism and terrorism\, compatriots and chosen sisters\, and how we 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. \nContent warnings: the play has references to violence\, colonialism\, and racism. \nDirected by Michelle Fisher and featuring Allison Rudmann Putnam\, June Dever\, Shawna Ciampa\, and Nancy Finn\, “The Revolutionists” will open on January 24 and run through February 8. \nSingle tickets are $25\, $23 for Seniors/Students\, and can be purchased online at qptheater.com/box-office/. Or\, for reservations\, call the QP Box Office at (781) 942-2212. Checks and cash are accepted at performances\, as well as Credit Cards for a small fee. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 PM. Sunday performances are at 2 PM.
