Event Description

Life of Galileo is a 1938 play by German playwright Bertolt Brecht. The play chronicles the illustrious career of the Italian philosopher and astronomer Galileo Galilei, with particular attention to his persecution, and punishment by the Catholic Church for sharing his scientific findings with the world. Central to the play is the tense power dynamic between dogmatic religious belief and scientific truth. Brecht’s play is highly sympathetic to Galileo’s perseverance in a battle against the Church in which the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against him.

The life of Galileo is a tribute to one of history’s most impactful scientific minds, as well as a vindication of his search for scientific truth that might liberate people from their own ignorance. The version of the play presented by BLT has been adapted to suit a wide range of audiences and is important for anyone who wants thoughtful entertainment that stimulates the mind.
