SYNOPSIS
His heretical announcement, that both the moon and Jupiter only reflect the sun's light, is brought to the attention of the church and Galileo is summoned to the Vatican. His friends abandon him and his appeal to the Pope is intercepted by the inquisitor. Galileo recants, but even while imprisoned continues his writings surreptitiously.

“We are fortunate at OU that a brilliant production of Brecht’s play was just put on [...] not overproduced, but with creative props, costumes, and staging. It came off personal and authentic, and was a delight to attend.”
— Kerry Magruder
