Legacy of Light by Karen Zacarías
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. Lighting co-designed by theater program director Jane Cox and lecturer Tess James. Show opens 3/23 at 2 PM; Pride Night is 3/28; Post-show Discussions on 3/30 + 4/5 (ASL interpretation); 4/6 is open caption and audio-described performance. Tickets start at $25, available through McCarter Box Office.
