Bertolt Brechts Galileo

Considered by many to be one of Brecht's masterpieces, "Galileo" explores the question of a scientist's social and ethical responsibilities, as the brilliant Galileo must choose between his life and his life's work when he is confronted with the persecution of the Inquisition. Through his characterization of the famous physicist, Brecht examines the issues of scientific morality and the difficult relationship between the intellectual and authority.
Brecht's Galileo is not a hero--he is a man who loves life so much that he is compelled to investigate its wholesome ature. Though he saves his own skin from the rigors of the Inquisition, he also saves his work for posterity, not to be of benefit to him in his own lifetime, but on behalf of future humankind.Event is free for all, but RSVP is required.
