The Revolutionists at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...There's a lot I don't like about The Revolutionists, starting with a cutesy, sub-Sarah Ruhlian use of anachronism that tests our patience and threatens to subvert Gunderson's insights. But Bryan Wakefield's cast is strong, the subject is more than worthy, and a major subtheme concerning the cruel piety of would-be revolutionaries speaks volumes about the current political moment-even, just for instance, the Chicago theater community."

"...A narrative operating on this many levels requires a conductor more than it does a director, but Bryan Wakefield embraces the challenge of its verbal choreography, as does the exemplary cast assembled for this Organic Theater Company production. Taylor Raye's bemused Marianne and Sara Copeland's peppery Charlotte anchor a dialogue propelled by Laura Sturm's revisionable Marie and Stephanie Sullivan's cautious Olympe, whose own execution would render forever undecided the question of whether women would have made for better post-revolution government."

Theatre By Numbers - Somewhat Recommended

"...Though "The Revolutionists" did not explicitly called me to action, I at least have a deeper appreciation of hidden figures within France's turning. Gunderson may not ask the audience to rise from their seats in protest, but she does ask that we look at her characters with humor, empathy, and understanding. And maybe right now, that is a revolutionary act."

"...If you seek realistic theater this is not for you. If you love a deep dive into philosophical terrain--- here, mainly feminist thought--- in the style of repartee comedy, put THE REVOLUTIONISTS on your short list of must-see shows."
