The Originals present Emilie: La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight, by Lauren Gunderson
What would you do if the universe gave you the gift of time and space for one last chance to find the answer to the burning question left unresolved when you died?
Enter one of historys most intriguing and forgotten women, the passionate and brilliant 18th century scientific genius, Emilie Du Châtelet. In this wildly theatrical, fast-paced, funny and flirtatious race against the clock, Emilie defends her life, her loves (including the infamous literary genius, Voltaire) and, above all, the science to which she dedicated her life. Joined by loved ones and foes in her perilous sprint to the finish line, will she find the answer to her lifes work? And if she does, will it be the one she expects?
Starring Jennifer Porter and Mike Iveson, with Dana Packard, Elisabeth Hardcastle, and Dawn Tucker.
Emilie is quite the best play I have read in a very long time. Robert Schenkkan, Pulitzer Prize Winning playwright
Gunderson possesses an antic imagination that seeks to invent its own rules. As soon as we're drawn in, she shakes us and whisks us 10 or 15 paces ahead. Los Angeles Times
...a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity. LA/OC Examiner
