The Life of Galileo
by Bertolt Brecht
Translated by Charles Laughton
Sunday, November 2 at 12:00 pm
Chicago Cultural Center
Bertolt Brecht's acclaimed bio-play traces Galileo's groundbreaking struggles against bureaucracy, stupidity, religiosity, and his own blindness. Accompanied by his long-suffering daughter and faithful scientific disciples, Galileo becomes a spark for the humanistic revolution placing man at the center of a new universe. The play will be presented as a staged reading in a shortened version.
Tickets for this reading are $15 and are available directly through the Chicago Humanities Festival beginning on September 15. For tickets call 312-494-9509 or visit www.chfestival.org.
