A fierce black woman in Paris. She is from the Caribbean, an activist, and a spy working with her husband Vincent. Tough, classy, vigilant, and the sanest one of them all. Marianne is fueled by both family and justice. She does not have time to save the souls of these white women. She is a working mom: half in the worry of her heart, and half in the work for justice that only she can do. She’s funny too.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Play Synopsis:</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.

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.</span></p><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For more information visit: </span><a href="https://www.civicplayers.org/the-revolutionists-by-lauren-gunderson" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://www.civicplayers.org/the-revolutionists-by-lauren-gunderson</span></a></span></div><br></div></div></body></html>
