The Life of Galileo (Manheim/Sauerlander, trans.)
Bertolt Brecht
His heretical announcement, that both the moon and Jupiter only reflect the sun's light, is brought to the attention of the church and Galileo is summoned to the Vatican.
His friends abandon him and his appeal to the Pope is intercepted by the inquisitor.
Galileo recants, but even while imprisoned continues his writings surreptiously.
The Life of Galileo (Hare, trans.) is a play written by David Hare and published by Samuel French .
