​

Four beautiful, bad-ass 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 legacy, art, activism, feminism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually 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.​​​​

Advisory: Adult language. Brief discussions of political struggle, sexism, racism, and the violence that was the French Revolution.​
