The Goddess of Reason: A Drama in Five Acts

Set against the turbulent years of the French Revolution, this five‑act drama opens on a sun‑lit terrace of a Breton château in 1791. The elegant garden, a statue of a nymph draped in ivy, and the scattered remnants of weapons hint at a world where aristocratic splendor and the fury of revolution collide. As a deputy arrives with news of political upheavals, the stage becomes a microcosm of the era’s clashing ideals.

A colorful cast of barons, clergy, soldiers, and ordinary townsfolk gathers, each voicing their allegiance to reason, liberty, or the old order. Their heated debates and bitter sarcasm bring the fervor of revolutionary rhetoric to life, while the looming presence of the “Goddess of Reason” offers a symbolic focal point for their aspirations and anxieties. The play balances sharp wit with poignant moments, inviting listeners to feel the restless energy of a nation on the brink of radical change.
