The Revolutionists is an irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.
Directed by Brian Mather, the ECHO Players' latest stage production blends history and imagination in uniting four fierce revolutionary women from very different backgrounds in a sisterhood like no other, according to a news release by ECHO Players.
The show runs from April 17 at 7:30 p.m. to May 4 at 2 p.m. at the Village Theatre (110 Second Ave. W) in Qualicum Beach.
Trailblazing playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen 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 written by Lauren Gunderson is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world.
Tickets are available online at echoplayers.ca or by phone at 250-752-3522.
