As New; Obsessions and lifelong loves permeate this play as the 18th century astronomer, Le Gentil, charts the heavens for Venus and the realm of his heart for his young fianceé. Le Gentil puts off marrying the young and wilful Celeste as he travels around the world in his attempts to plot the course of Venus across the sky, only to be undone at every turn by weather, war, and misfortune, and to find upon his final return a woman undone by his absence and ready to set her own course. Spanning eleven years in the lives of Le Gentil and Celeste, Hunter's play explores issues of faith, solitude, and the human spirit.
