Promotional artwork for the play "The Revolutionists" by Lauren Gunderson. In the center is an outline of a woman's head; her hair is done up in a high pouf on the top of her head with a flower by her ear. Across the top of the pouf is a red ribbon. On either side of her are two pink teacups that appear to have blood drops coming out of them. Below the woman's head is text that reads "The revolutionists' in pointy, cursive letters.

Bad luck? No one faces it – or laughs at it – quite like the women of The Revolutionists. This bold, high-energy comedy blends sharp humor with powerful storytelling, making it a must-see French Revolution play.

Set in 1793 Paris during the Reign of Terror, The Revolutionists delivers a fresh, female-driven perspective on history. First, it introduces four fearless women. Then, it weaves their stories into a fast-paced, thought-provoking theatrical experience. As a result, audiences get a “her-storical” comedy that is both hilarious and deeply impactful.

Perfect for theatre lovers, history buffs, and fans of strong female leads, this production celebrates courage, resilience, and the power of women’s voices. Moreover, its witty dialogue and modern edge make it accessible and engaging for all audiences.

Don’t miss this unforgettable live theatre event that brings history, comedy, and feminism together in one revolutionary performance.
