Here’s your chance to spend an enjoyable evening with four (in)famous women in “The Revolutionists” performed by Modern Classics Theatre at the BACCA Arts Center in Lindenhurst. The cast delivers a heady mix of comedy and drama with rousing repartee and words that resonate through the ages. The play is set in Paris in 1793, a busy year for the guillotine during the Reign of Terror and (spoiler alert!) the year three of these ladies met their doom.

Jes Almeida is a playful, earnest and, ultimately, brave Olympe DeGouges. Karen Griffith Gordon as Marianne Angeles, makes a notable MCT debut, emanating great warmth throughout her passionate and fiery performance. The eye-catching Charlotte Corday (Rosie Colette) is archly funny and a dab hand with a kitchen knife, punctuating her lines to comic effect. Julie Lorson brings many laughs as a surprisingly funny and engaging Marie Antoinette.
You can catch this Modern Classics Theatre show March 7,8,13,14,15,21 and 22; at BACCA Arts Center, 149 North Wellwood Avenue, Lindenhurst, NY 11757, 516-236-5838.
