Friends, I am so proud of this production. There are three more weeks to see it and be moved by the work of the cast and creative team, and indeed by the true story - poetically rendered by Lauren Gunderson - of our protagonist Emilie du Chatelet. I encourage you to reserve seats for any show, Thursday-Sunday until 1/29. Details here.
“The mind, the earth, the stars, all of the things I care about are sexless.”-Emilie
"What do I do? What can I give her to give her a chance? Everything I know? A book. Foundations of science for anyone - The whole universe - for all, for her." - EMILIE: LA MARQUISE DU CHATELET DEFENDS HER LIFE TONIGHT
by Lauren Gunderson, directed by Marta Rainer

“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, fast, funny, sexy 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.
