Fra Noi Embrace Your Inner Italian
Remy Bumppo Theatre Company will stage the world premiere of “Galileo’s Daughter” at Theater Wit in Chicago from April 5 to May 14. Rattled by a personal crisis, a playwright flees to Florence to study the letters between Galileo Galilei and his eldest daughter, Maria Celeste. Maria Celeste, caught up in the threats against her father, must abandon her work assisting her father and join a convent. Alternating between past and present timelines, the play explores themes of faith, forgiveness and the cost of heeding one’s truth. Written by Jessica Dickey and directed by Marti Lyons, the play stars Linda Gillumas as Writer and Emily Bosco as Daughter. For details or to make reservations, click here.
