Leo-Leo Galileo by Bela Sandor
Two acts in 90 minutes
December 18, 2017
7 PM
UW Lowell Center, 610 Langdon Street
An historical drama that has relevance in our time. Presented by Playwrights Ink of Madison, in cooperation with the UW-Madison Retirement Association, the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters, and the Wisconsin Initiative for Science Literacy.
The main themes are the intense rivalry of two powerful Cardinals for the Papacy, and their compelling need to control the politically toxic Galileo, a person they otherwise appreciate and admire. Galileo is subtly siding with both Cardinals, but the best he can get for himself is permanent house arrest, a virtual burial alive. The play is relevant in our world, where widespread anti-science beliefs cause societal conflict, regressive governmental actions are common, and freedom of expression is not assured.
Reading cast:
Nick Schweitzer - Director
Bob Curry - Narrator
Sam White - Galileo
Jason Compton - Cardinal; Chief Inquisitor
Barry Levenson - Cardinal; Pope Urban VIII
Marisa Kahler - Celeste, Galileo’s daughter
