MFA Collaboration Series 22/23 presents:
MFA Collaboration #1 - THE REVOLUTIONISTS
Written by Lauren Gunderson. Directed by Jasmine B. Gunter.
Friday, February 3, 2023 at 7:30PM
Hal & Martha Hyer Wallis Theater
1949 Campus Drive - Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts on the Evanston Campus of Northwestern University
Evanston,
IL
60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston campus just off Sheridan Road on Campus Drive. The Wallis studio theatre space is on the west side of the Wirtz Center/Theater building facing west.
This production is part of the MFA Lab series, matching Northwestern's emerging MFA directors and designers for exciting and unexpected collaborations with contemporary theatre.
The Revolutionists is a new play about four beautiful, badass women who lose their heads in this irreverent, feminist 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.
Estimated running time is 2 hour and 15 minutes including one intermission.
