After turning heads in New York and London (and perhaps a few stomachs—be prepared for some gore), Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. makes its New England premiere with Company One. Composed of funny and frightening vignettes that vivify the constraints faced by modern women,
the play hits the stage at the BCA’s Plaza Theatre Oct. 21-Nov. 19.
George Gershwin’s 1928 composition An American in Paris inspired the Oscar-winning 1951 film of the same name, which in turn led to this Tony-winning play that opened on Broadway in 2015.

Bevin O’Gara, team up for the world premiere of How Soft the Lining, which explores the friendship of Mary Todd Lincoln and her freed black seamstress in the wake of President Lincoln’s assassination. Bad Habit Productions stages the play Nov. 5-20 at the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA.
