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.
