Production Snapshot

Passionate. Brilliant. Defiant. Tonight, 18th century scientific genius Emilie du Châtelet is back and determined to answer the question she died with: love or philosophy, head or heart? In this highly theatrical, fast, funny, sexy rediscovery of one of history’s most intriguing women, Emilie defends her life and loves; and ends up with both a formula and a legacy that permeates history.

“An evening of humor and heartbreak with a powerhouse ending.” – BroadwayWorld.com “Emilie is quite the best play I have read in a very long time,”- Robert Schenkkan, Pulitzer Prize Winning playwright
