D.C. playwright Karen Zacarías (The Book Club Play, Mariela in the Desert) teams up with Arena’s own Artistic Director Molly Smith for this time-bending tale of discovery—both scientific and maternal. Enter the world of Emilie du Châtelet, an 18th century physicist in love with–but unfaithful to–the renowned writer and philosopher Voltaire.
