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 writer-in-residence; Mark Ravenhill.
