The play, written by Georgia native Lauren Gunderson, follows playwright Olympe De Gouge, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Anegelle as they navigate one of France's most chaotic eras.
The cast has had terrific chemistry, which has led to a lot of great discoveries
