In the new dawn we were upright. We were tall. We were on two feet. No more horses. That's what we thought. We are not horses anymore.

August 1792. Twenty thousand people storm the palace of King Louis XVI. Six months later he is guillotined: France is a Republic.

July 1794. Fifteen thousand more people have had their heads chopped off. Republican leader Robespierre gets guillotined as well. The Revolution is over.

January 2024. Members of the international elite assembled in Davos for the final meetings of the World Economic Forum where they enjoyed saunas, spas and high-class food. Child poverty levels are the highest they've ever been. The richest 1 per cent own half of the world's wealth. A politician was hit by a flying egg.

The Glorious French Revolution is an anarchic, wild, irreverent, biased and unfair retelling of one of Europe's greatest revolutions, one of its bloodiest chapters and one of its most controversial moments in history.

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's New Diorama Theatre in November 2024.
