'Galileo' spans 33 years in 90 minutes. Unlike Brecht, who used the character of Galileo to write about his own time, this 'Galileo' is written from documents and history and focuses on the world of seventeenth century Italy. The drama tells of Galileo's love for Marina Gamba, his mistress of 12 years, his ambiguous relationship with Pope Urban VIII, the life and death of his daughter, and a dramatic trial at the end
