"...Stage Left Productions is currently presenting...The Revolutionists in a spirited, funny, and ultimately moving production that features a crackerjack cast and solid direction....Director Cody Dull has assembled a gifted quartet of actresses...Cindy Covington's Olympe de Gouges is determined but also unsure how to write the important play about women and history that she wants to write. ...Katryce Bridges is wonderful as Marianne Angelle, the woman who seems to be the most understanding of the four to the reality of what's going on around them....Jillian Walker makes an auspicious Stage Left debut as Charlotte Corday, the rough, intense, young female assassin out to kill a man in the name of justice. ...With total control and a complete understanding of her character, Suze St. John is simply superb as Marie-Antoinette. ..."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)

"...As Olympe, Cindy Covington's animated performance keeps things moving frenetically along. As Marianne, Katryce Bridges brings just the right amount of sass and sincerity. As Charlotte, Jillian Walker delivers a do-or-die performance. And as Queen Marie, Suze St. John serves up royal laughs and a few insights. From a production standpoint, set designer Leroy Timblin makes the most of his versatile, multi-level set; Cody Dull and Suze St. John spare no fabric for their award-worthy costumes; and Lisa Kurvink's hair and make up round out the French Rev-illusion...."  - Lee Cooley, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
