The Life of Galileo
by Bertolt Brecht;
translation by David Hare.
Gremlin Theatre
April 4 - 19, 2009
The scientist must choose between his life's work and his life
when confronted by the Inquisition. Brecht's masterpiece is the
story of how one man moved the earth and showed us the universe,
and in return the Church showed him the rack.
