Synopsis

A wildly experimental and inventive new play that does not behave.

Playwright Alice Birch has put together a grouping of vignettes that ask how to revolutionize language, relationships, work, and life in general while bursting at the seams of conformity.

Press Reviews

"Revolt unfolds in a series of fragments that recall the form-bending virtuosity of Caryl Churchill... Ms. Birch’s work finds the theatrical exhilaration in civil disobedience."
— The New York Times

"A puckish, yet deadly serious meditation on how language molds our experience of sex and gender, a scalding cascade of interconnected vignettes exploring words and their limits."
— Slate
