Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. 

by Alice Birch

Directed by Emily O’Brien-Brown

“Theatrical exhilaration in civil disobedience.” — The New York Times

Alice Birch’s Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. is a ferocious work of contemporary theatre that refuses to behave. Through sharp, surreal and darkly funny vignettes, it twists words into weapons and turns everyday rituals inside out. What begins as an assault on the language and traditions that have shaped “womanhood” becomes something larger: a call to tear down the systems of oppression that divide and diminish us all.

In 2025, we explore this play through an intersectional lens inspired by bell hooks’ insistence that feminism is for everybody—across race, class and all gender expressions. Our company of artists bring their collective force to the stage, confronting the very structures we are working and breathing within. Revolt is startling and disarming, a howl of protest and maybe a map toward possibility: unflinching, unapologetic and urgently alive.
