This program is generously supported by Antonio Muniz, Wharton ‘86 and brought to you by
the Platt Student Performing Arts House and the Wilma Theater.

The Wilma Theater has wanted to produce Brecht's masterpiece about reason, religion, and power for years: David Edgar's sparkling
new translation for an age of fundamentalism, cloning, and climate change convinced us that now was the time.
Edgar, author of the Tony and Olivier winning The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, has produced a version
The Daily Telegraph calls "crystal clear, breathing vitality into the question of science's relation to ethics...the issues
are more relevant than ever." Are there limits to the freedom of inquiry? Galileo strives to bring reason to a world in
which power is concealed as faith. His epic struggle continues to resonate across the centuries.
