BY BERTOLT BRECHTADAPTED BY JOSEPH DISCHERDIRECTED BY VIVIENNE BENESCHGalileo Galilei: father, hero, heretic. When a chance discovery leads to evidence of a seismic shift in scientific thinking, Galileo sparks a dangerous dispute with authority. To challenge the idea that the earth is the centre of the universe is to challenge the all-powerful Roman Catholic Church. Brechts dramatisation of the battle between belief and reason considers whether proof matters when dogma reigns.Featuring original music by Justin Ellington and directed by PlayMakers Producing Artistic Director Vivienne Benesch.
