LA Theatre Works Presents LIFE OF GALILEO, 10/2
Beginning Saturday, October 2, 2010, L.A.

Unrelenting in his search for "simple truth," Galileo Galilei shatters beliefs held sacred for two thousand years. But his integrity is put to the test in a passionate debate over science, religion, and ethics that resonates to this day. The broadcast includes an interview with Dr. E.C. Krupp, the Director of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.
