The Civilians' Paris Commune

THE CIVILIANS' PARIS COMMUNE

The Civilians, a talented ensemble troupe (Gone Missing), which began making shows in 2001 "based in the creative investigation of actual experience," will focus here on working class Parisians in 1871 as they band together to overthrow the French government. Steven Cosson and Michael Friedman wrote the piece, and Cosson will direct.
