Trap Door Theatre Presents:
Galileo
Written by Bertolt Brecht
Translated by Charles Laughton
Directed by Max Truax
Galileo is a humanizing and compelling portrait of the great scientist, torn between his scientific principles and his desire for the comfortable life that compliance with authority affords. Known as one of Brecht’s great masterpieces, Galileo examines scientific morality and a scientist’s ethical responsibility when he must choose between his life and his research while being confronted by the Inquisition.
Resident Director Max Traux returns to Trap Door to tackle another favorite Brecht piece, after last year’s box office hit Mother Courage and her Children.
