Arguably Brechts greatest play, A Life of Galileo charts the seventeenth century scientists extraordinary fight with the church over his assertion that the earth orbits the sun.The figure of Galileo, whose heretical discoveries about the solar system brought him to the attention of the Inquisition, is one of Brechts more human and complex creations. Temporarily silenced by the Inquisitions threat of torture, and forced to abjure his theories publicly, Galileo continues to work in private, eventually smuggling his work out of the country.Brechts beautiful depiction of the explosive struggle between scientific discovery and religious fundamentalism is captured masterfully in this new translation by RSC writerinresidence, Mark Ravenhill.
