Galileo – ChooseChicago
May29

Galileo is a humanizing and compelling portrait of the great scientist, torn between his scientific principles and his desire for the comfortable life that compliance with authority affords. Known as one of Brecht’s great masterpieces, Galileo examines scientific morality and a scientist’s ethical responsibility when he must choose between his life and his research while being confronted by the Inquisition.

Resident Director Max Traux returns to Trap Door to tackle another favorite Brecht piece, after last year’s box office hit Mother Courage and her Children.

Written by Bertolt Brecht

Translated by Charles Laughton

Directed by Max Truax

Cast: Dan Cobbler, Genevieve Corkery, Caleb Lee Jenkins, Shail Modi, Joan Nahid, Gus Thomas, Amber Washington, and featuring David Lovejoy as Galileo.
