Production Staff
Director: James Fisher

That the word “Brechtian” has entered the vocabulary of theater and film criticism and is to be found not only in professional journals but in the popular press as well, would testify to the profound influence Bertolt Brecht and his “epic theater” have had on the contemporary theater world.  More than an historical drama, Galileo poses many troubling questions in an age of increased technology and scientific discovery “…Galileo is entirely contemporary in view of the events of our atomic age and in relation to certain problems of conscience.”
