Galileo by Brecht is based on the real life of the seventeenth century astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. The play is in fourteen scenes which is a break from the conventional pattern of dividing the play into acts and scenes.
The first in a trilogy of Brecht’s plays, all written during his time in exile from Nazi Germany. Galileo is perhaps even more about today. And that’s Brecht’s genius. No one does Brecht like Irondale.
