“Scopo della scienza non è tanto quello di aprire una porta all’infuori sapere, quanto quello di porre una barriera all’infinita ignoranza.”
-Bertolt Brecht, Vita di Galileo.

4.5: This was an amazing play; so perfectly constructed! Good writing with a strong story and presentation of societal dynamics of 1630s with science, authority, society and emotional quotient of people living in that time and with that knowledge base in play. Of course, it shows science vs church in early 17th century but it also shows the fear and emotions among the general mass, which is not hard to understand, (and for the first time for me) not very irrational. You stand with science but you also see the other side. Also, major shoutout to the play construction and direction; recommended!
