A new play about four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe De Gouge, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, lose their heads and try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. 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.
Join us for Harlequin’s biggest fundraiser of the year! Hosted by our beloved Joe Hyer, your tickets include admission, an OPEN beer and wine bar (!), an array of appetizers from Jean Pierre's Three16, participation in our silent & live auctions, and an evening of friendship and celebration.
