Forza Galileo doesn't hold back
FORZA GALILEO
Theatro Technis
IN response to the National Theatre refusing to release the rights to the script of The Life of Galileo, George Eugeniou, the proprietor of the Theatro Technis, decided to write his own play.
Forza Galileo is a damning and rambling work, castigating the un-Brechtian behaviour of the National Theatre along with the stingy Arts Council and the government.
Based on The Frogs by Aristophanes, Anna goes to the underworld to seek out Brecht, the author of the original play, and get the rights to his work in person.
But on her voyage, guided by the god Dionysus, she gets more than she bargained for – a horny, disillusioned and apologetic Einstein (John Rety), a raving Joan Littlewood and Galileo taking Brecht to court for slander. George Eugeniou has a sharp tongue and a sense of comic timing.
This is an admirable effort by actors dedicated to their art and with little funding they need your support.
