THE LIFE OF GALILEO
by Bertolt Brecht
translated by david hare
directed by bruce coughran
Arguably Brecht’s greatest play, The Life of Galileo beautifully captures a brilliant discovery that changed the world. Armed with a telescope and a questioning mind, Galileo incites a war between reason and faith that challenges his own integrity. In a translation by English playwright David Hare, this play is a spellbinding lesson in the consequences of genius.

THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE*
by martin mcdonagh;
directed by john maio
*this play is not suitable for family audiences.
An Irish revolutionary’s fuse is lit by the sudden death of his beloved pet. This brutal and bloody, shocking and horrifying, and ultimately hysterical comedy by bad-boy McDonagh—perhaps today’s most exciting writer—is a commentary on the violence of our world. You’ll hate it. Until you love it!
november 1–december 7

directed by marti baer
