Tonight, 18th century scientific genius Emilie du Châtelet, and romantic companion to France’s preeminent literary star, Voltaire, is determined to answer the question - love or philosophy? In this highly theatrical, fast, funny, sexy rediscovery of one of history’s most intriguing women, Emilie defends her life and loves leaving a legacy that echoes its way into our hearts and minds today. Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. “This ambitious, non-linear experiment is a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity.” ~LA/OC Examiner
