What is the science of love?

In Princeton, New Jersey, a brilliant astrophysicist tries to become a mother. Meanwhile—300 years earlier, in France—a mathematician, scientist, and lover to Voltaire finds out she’s about to become one. From the writer of Native Gardens and Destiny of Desire a bright and funny new play about life, the universe, and parenthood. 

"A deliciously quirky, entertaining new comedy with subtle ironies, wry humor and intellectual depth." --Variety
