What is the show about?

Emilie: La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight
By Lauren Gunderson

Passionate. Brilliant. Defiant.

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, 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 permeate history.

The show involves some adult themes, including romance and brief descriptions of death.
