Special limited run remount of our acclaimed 2013 production, featuring the entire original cast.
Emilie du Chatelet is best known for her fifteen-year liaison with Voltaire but she was more than a great man’s mistress. She was one of the leading interpreters of modern physics during the Age of Enlightenment. In this play Emilie must defend her life by tallying her achievements in Love and Philosophy-and searching for a formula that will convince the world of her worth.
In keeping with WAM Theatre’s double philanthropic mission, a portion of proceeds from the box office will be donated to an organization that benefits women and girls.
