Bertolt Brecht's Galileo
$2.00
Bertolt Brecht's "Galileo" is a compelling play that portrays the life and struggles of the historical figure Galileo Galilei. Set against the backdrop of the scientific revolution and the Catholic Church's opposition to Galileo's revolutionary ideas about heliocentrism, the play explores themes of knowledge, morality, and the clash between science and dogma. Brecht's distinctive theatrical style, including the use of alienation effects and episodic scenes, invites audiences to critically engage with the ethical dilemmas faced by Galileo as he grapples with the consequences of his discoveries.
