Set during the French Enlightenment, the play chronicles the volcanic, law-breaking, sexually-driven, intellectually-fueled, sixteen-year love affair between Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) and Gabrielle Emilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Chatelet. Giron is the recipient of the 2000 Galileo Prize.

The cast also stars Amy Lynn Stewart. The creative team will include Jito Lee (scenery), Jake DeGroot (lighting), Carol Pelletier (costumes) and Geoffrey Roecker (sound).
