Summary
It’s 2011. The events that would come to be known as the Arab Spring are underway. The Occupy Movement is in its infancy. With the world changing at a rapid pace, a group of young students find themselves grappling to understand the surrounding revolutionary fervor. One student, Patrick, the son of a homeless Iraq War Vet, struggles in quiet desperation with secrets and changes that could prove to be more than he can handle. 
History
Revolution was commissioned and produced in 2013 by Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia under the direction of David Zobell.
