What is the science of love?
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.
