The Flare Productions presents Lauren Gunderson’s play, which brings Emilie du Châtelet back and finally gives her a chance to answer the question she died with: love or philosophy, head or heart?
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 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.
