Roland, paying his addresses, endeavor to revive in me this ancient taste; we made, indeed, a great many figures; but the mode of deduction by X and Y was never sufficiently attractive to fix my attention. September 5. / cut the sheet to inclose what I have written in the little box; for when I see a revolutionary army decreed, new tribunals formed for shedding innocent blood, famine threatened, and the tyrants at bay, I augur that they must have new victims, and conclude that no one is secure of living another day. The correspondence with Sophie was still one of my chief pleasures, and the bands of our friendship had been drawn closer by several journeys which she had made to Paris. My susceptible heart had need, I will not say of an illusion, but of an object upon which to centre its affections, and especially of confidence and communication. Friendship offered them, and I cherished it with ardor. My relation with my mother, agreeable as it was, would not have supplied the place of this affection; it had too much of the gravity resulting from respect on the one part, and of authority on the other.

Anne-Josèphe: A Stage Play brings to life the historic Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt, a commonly overlooked revolutionary who fought for liberty and equality for women during the French Revolution. Bold and passionate about effecting change, Anne-Josèphe dons men’s clothes, arms herself, and trains French women as Amazones. She encounters many key players in the French Revolution – such as Abbé Sieyès, Marquis de Condorcet, Madame Roland, Claire Lacombe, and Marat – yet she also draws the attention of a vicious and chauvinistic press. As blood spills between rival factions over the governance and future of France, Anne-Josèphe finds her own freedom – and mental health – slipping away. Anne-Josèphe is an epic tragedy written with an existential lens and includes an introduction to Existentialism to attune readers to this philosophy. Historical and dramatic, reasoned and emotional, this play represents our past, present, and possibly our future if we don’t face our existing struggles and overall spiritlessness in our age.
