Meet the man who rocked the world.It may have been more than 400 years since the Roman Inquisition challenged Galileo Galileis proof that the Earth rotated around the sun but, sadly, the story of arrogant leaders refusing to accept the findings of science is all too timely.Bertolt Brechts masterly portrait of genius under fire positively bristles with thought-provoking contemporary resonances.Leading the large ensemble, Kiwi acting legend Michael Hurst is well equipped to embody the contradictions, flaws and genius of Galileo: a man who looked to the stars, risked heresy and changed how we see the heavens but, also, a man who was naive, ambitious, idealistic and capable of petty cruelty.The Life of Galileo promises a night of bold ideas, brilliant theatricality, and a full-throated defence of speaking truth to power.
