The Revolutionists<\/em><\/strong> is a comedic play about four real women during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror: playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, who meet in a Parisian prison cell. The play blends historical fact with fiction, using modern language and humor to explore themes of feminism, activism, violence, and legacy, all while leading to the guillotine. It’s described as a “comedy, a quartet, a revolutionary dream fugue, a true story” that questions if art can change the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly theatrical presentation. <\/em><\/strong>Robinette’s faithful adaptation brings the story of Wilbur the pig and his spider friend Charlotte to life on stage. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be \u201ca true friend and a good writer.\u201d Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte mounts a victorious campaign which ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give audiences an evening of enchantment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
