4th Wall Stage Company in partnership with the Museum of Worcester and presents “Searching for Galileo’s Daughter” by Jessica Dickey


  • Museum of Worcester – Fletcher Auditorium 30 Elm Street Worcester, MA, 01609 United States (map)

Just in time for Women's History Month, the story of a playwright, unsettled by a personal crisis, flees to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his eldest daughter Maria Celeste, whom he has taught to read, write, do arithmetic, study the planets, and transcribe his work. Caught up in the threats against her father, Maria must abandon her work and join a convent. The writer’s discovery of Maria’s strength and tenacity inspires her own pursuit of purpose. Alternating between past and present, this play is a personal examination of faith, forgiveness, and the cost of seeking and speaking truth. A delightful and insightful comedy. Directed by Barbara Guertin, and starring Robbin Joyce, Jerry Bisantz, and Sandy Clancy.
