Set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, this bold, fast-paced comedy brings together four iconic women: playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, deposed queen Marie Antoinette and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle. In the Paris of 1793, they gather to fight back against the rising tide of extremism.

As its playwright, Lauren Gunderson, describes it, "This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world."

About the Patrons Series

The UNCSA Patrons Series features performances produced outside the Mainstage season and offers audiences a broader view of the artistic work presented at UNCSA. The series highlights guest artists, special projects and interdisciplinary collaborations that complements the conservatories’ work, while also setting clear expectations about production support. Unlike Mainstage productions, Patrons Series events are not designed, built or fully supported by the School of Design and Production, and production elements will vary from minimal design to more complete production components, depending on the needs of each project.
