Live at the Library: What is the Science of Love?

Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00PM

In present-day Princeton, an astrophysicist is discovering new planets while dreaming of starting a family. In 18th-century Paris, Émilie du Châtelet — a brilliant physicist whose genius inspired the work of Voltaire and influenced Einstein and his Theory of Relativity — is running out of time before her baby arrives. Across the ages, but under the same star-filled sky, their stories intertwine in this bright and funny play about life, the universe, and the legacy we leave behind.

Director Sarah Rasmussen, Artistic Director at McCarter
Playwright Karen Zacarias
Princeton University Professor of Astrophysical Sciences Jenny Greene (Astrophysics Consultant to the play)

Moderator:
Julie Felise Dubiner, Dramaturg & Director of Artistic Initiatives at McCarter
