As part of the 2027 Chicago Theatre Week, Lazy Susan Theatre Co. will present David Adjmi’s Marie Antoinette (February 4-February 21, 2027), also directed by Matthew Masino. Before she became history’s most infamous queen, Marie Antoinette reveled in luxury and spectacle while revolution simmered beyond the palace gates. As cries of “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” grow louder, she is forced to confront the consequences of a life built on excess. Adjmi’s darkly comic and sharply contemporary reimagining of the French Revolution follows Marie’s nightmarish personal journey from idolized monarch to social pariah and asks who gets a slice of cake and who goes hungry.
