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.
Lauren Gunderson’s writing made its Western Australian debut with Theatre 180’s recent critically-acclaimed production of ‘I and You’, demonstrating why Gunderson is currently the America’s most produced living 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.”

“The ambitious, non-linear experiment is a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity.”
– LA/OC Examiner
– LA/OC Examiner
“An evening of humour and heartbreak with a powerhouse ending.”
Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Michelle Ezzy. By arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical, on behalf of Samuel French Inc., a Concord Theatricals Company
