The Revisionist

The Revisionist is a sharp and intimate exploration of the uneasy terrain of memory, power, and inheritance. We are centred on the volatile relationship between a guarded Polish Holocaust survivor and her American nephew, a young writer seeking to shape her past into his own narrative. By turns witty, uncomfortable, and quietly devastating, The Revisionist interrogates who gets to control history, and what is lost when language, trauma, and ambition collide.

Alexis Beebe
as Maria

Alexis Beebe is a Brisbane-based actor whose work spans theatre, film, television and voice work. She trained in London and has performed across the UK and throughout Australia, working with a range of independent and established companies. Alexis’ recent theatre credits include Bombshells at PIP Theatre and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Metro Arts.

Alexis is drawn to theatre as a place of connection, where story and audience meet in a shared space of recognition. She is deeply committed to work that explores the often overlooked truths of the human experience. Her work is guided by a pursuit of authenticity, seeking moments that feel intimate and enduring, and that speak to and sometimes challenge the complexity, contradictions and fragility of what it is to be alive in the world.

Alexis is grateful to be part of this production and to continue to work within Brisbane’s everevolving artistic community
