Subject: THE REVOLUTIONISTS begins soon!
Is the pen mightier than the blade?
'THE REVOLUTIONISTS' by Lauren Gunderson
September 12 through 29, 2019
CITY Center for Collaborative Learning Space
37 E. Pennington, downtown
Tucson 85701
Set during the height of the French Revolution, four badass women – a playwright, an assassin, a spy and an empress – bond to tell the story of their turbulent times for future generations. It's a comedy. Guillotines may be involved.
Gunderson was the second most-produced playwright in 2018, except for Shakespeare:
per American Theatre and the 'New Yorker.'
"In this sparkling work, politics is very, very funny. Gunderson knows it's tricky to present entertaining yet socially-driven art, but she does so without losing the rhythm and forward momentum of her characters…
These are hilarious and lovable women trapped in a history with a somber final act."
- HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"The Revolutionists resembles a blindingly scintillating gem-like puzzle…
By turns it is drolly funny and affectingly poignant, then doubles back to satirical fare, then ends by bringing into stark relief the social commentary that it has been nurturing all night."
- FloridaTheaterOnStage.com
"It's simply a brilliant script."
- CITY BEAT (CINCINNATI)
