Marie Antoinette

By David Adjmi
Directed by Josiah Davis '20

A riotous take on a revolution

A lot happened before Marie Antoinette lost her head. Born to be a queen, she revels in pomp and circumstance to the point of absurdity, even as dissent and violence reach the gates of Versailles. As popular opinion turns against her and rumors spread, Marie is forced to reckon with what it means to be in power and her responsibility for the suffering of the working class. This darkly funny and brutally honest Marie Antoinette asks who gets a slice of cake – and who goes hungry.

Buzz
"This is a production well worth watching. Performances all around are excellent..."
Broadway World
Mr. Adjmi is one of several adventurous young playwrights now...who rather than avoiding clichés are embracing them to find out what enduring truths and lies still lurk beneath their threadbare exteriors."
The New York Times
"David Adjmi’s jagged yet elegant historical riff..."
Time Out
"Adjmi’s brilliance is to use trashy vernacular speech to allude to the way history trashes us."
The New Yorker
