We're bringing the best of Tiny Desk to the airwaves, only on public radio.

Four beautiful, bad-ass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. 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. Featuring Nicki Barnes as Marianne Angelle, Gaby Jentzsch as Marie Antoinette, Jenna Renee Pekny as Charlotte Corday, and Adina Silva as Olympe de Gouges. Advisory: Adult language. Brief discussions of political struggle, sexism, racism, and the violence that accompanies oppression. For more information visit: lamplighterslamesa.com Stay Connected on Facebook
