Legacy of Light February 17, 2011

Voted last season’s Best New Play by the American Theatre Critics Association, this engaging flight of theatrical magic concerns two great women from very different centuries: Emilie du Chatelet—a real life physi­cist and courtesan to Voltaire, and the present-day Olivia, a fictional planetologist who is grappling with tensions be­tween motherhood and intellectual pursuit. Brimming with enchantment, this fresh and fulfilling story will engage your heart and mind. Suggested for ages 16+.
