Go Stargazing With a First Look at Galileo, Starring F. Murray Abraham

Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham has returned to the New York stage to star in Bertolt Brecht’s Galileo at Classic Stage Company. Abraham plays the larger-than-life title character, a 17th century scientist, astronomer and philosopher who challenged the conventional wisdom of the universe, and came up against the Catholic Church and the Inquisition as a result. An ensemble cast of actors—Jon DeVries, Robert Dorfman, Aaron Himelstein, Andy Phelan, Amanda Quaid, Steve Rattazzi, Steven Skybell and Nick Westrate—joins him to tell this story of a man grappling with his family and humanity as much as his social and ethical responsibility.
