No Script: The Podcast | S2 Episode 7: “Galileo” by Bertolt Brecht

Years ago, Jacob discovered a copy of this play in a used bookstore. He fell in love with the script and it has claimed the top spot on his directing wish-list ever since. Now, he and Jackson dive into the rich story and beautiful language of "Galileo" by Bertolt Brecht. The play is a fictionalized account of Galileo's life, focusing especially on his conflict with the Catholic Church after he discovers that the sun does not revolve around the earth. Listen in as J&J discuss Epic theatre, science, and Brecht's poignant imagery.  ------------------------------ Please consider supporting us on Patreon.
