Transit of Venus by Maureen Hunter is about a family in turmoil. Le Gentil puts off marrying the young and wilful Celeste and leaves behind his mother and her companion 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 Spanning eleven years in the lives of its characters, Hunter's play explores the differing opinions of love and life while dealing issues of faith, solitude, and the human spirit in its characters.
