Emilie was an interesting woman. I feel the gimmick of bringing her back from the dead gets in the way and is likely to confuse audiences since she narrates then changes back and forth with an actress playing her. Her relationship with Voltaire is the most likely recognizable individual in the play. People with a scientific background may be familiar with the physics formulas being discussed. I would pass on this.
