THE ROTUNDA THEATRE

"'Proof' denies faith, and without faith we are nothing. The universe is a divine miracle, Galileo, not a clockwork toy." Pope Urban (1624)

 

In this reprimand by Pope Urban is Galileo's tragedy, a mistaken belief that if he supplied the church with proof that the planets revolve around the sun, he would enlighten the world while escaping persecution. He was wrong.

 

Galileo never understood his differences with the Church were not about reason, logic, and scientific fact. They were about politics. When he finally came to realise this, on trial for heresy, it was too late.

 

Written by Emmy Award Winner Nic Young. A regular with the RSC, Hardy has previously toured The Trials of Galileo throughout the UK, America, Malta, and Spain and had a sold out critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe. He will soon be seen in “Dangerous Liaisons” for Starz.
