Production Description:
Emilie is one of HIStory’s most undertold stories.
One of the first female physicists, the 18th century Marquise du Châtelet died from complications in childbirth in the midst of disproving Newton’s Laws of Physics. Her work became the basis for Einstein’s theory of relativity, but her long-time lover Voltaire, who wrote with, for, and about her, remained more noted for her work than she did until very recently.
Lauren Gundersen’s play powerfully tells Emilie’s story with humor and love, putting her story back in her own voice and restoring the credit for the work that became the foundation for so many others’.

Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays at 7:30 PM
