REVIEWS: Emilie: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight


“A bravura turn by Amy Gaither.”
— Job Sobel, Blog Critics
“Gaither…shifts flawlessly from vocalizing her thoughts and feelings, interacting with the other characters, engaging the audience with direct eye contact and direct-address comments, explaining the equations and theories, and debating them with Voltaire.”
— Deb Miller, DC Theater Arts
“Gaither handles its signs with finesse and credibility. Belief that she’s patrician and serious about the character’s intellectual investment is immediate.”
— Alix Cohen, Women Around Town
“It’s a demanding performance that she makes seem effortless with her total command of the expository material and the emotions Emilie experiences and expresses.”
— Deb Miller, DC Theater Arts
“Amy Michelle Gaither could hold her own against anyone and Nigel Gore came off as a petulant child sometimes which could be quite endearing thanks to Emilie’s attitude.”
— Eva Heinemann, Hi! Drama
