“Smart and poignant… A quietly moving drama about truth and faith”
—The Chicago Reader

When a playwright's life is turned upside down, she travels to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his daughter Marie Celeste, who is forced to join a convent after her father's earth-shattering controversies. Captured in the letters are her strength of will and own genius as she secretly assists her father in furthering his discoveries about the shape of the universe, inspiring a path forward for the Playwright. Alternating between Tuscany of present day and the 1600’s - and the liminal space between playwright and audience - Jessica Dickey has crafted a play examining faith, forgiveness, and the cost of speaking the truth.

Tickets are $65. Members are welcome to gather for lunch (pay your own) at 12:00pm at a terrific pub in Central Square. The 730 Tavern is at 730 Massachusetts Avenue, just a 5-block, 9-minute walk from the theater.

There is free on-street parking on Massachusetts Avenue. There is also free parking on Sunday at the lot at 9 Pleasant Street, which is nearby and one block off Massachusetts Avenue.
