Synopsis
When a playwright’s life is turned upside down, she travels to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his daughter Maria 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.
