Actors Paul Condylis and Maury Cooper of Torchlight Theatre present scenes from two powerful plays that explore fighting for the truth against powerful forces. An Enemy of the People lays bare a community conflict motivated by politics, greed, public health, ethics, and science.
Galileo profiles the infamous persecution of the great Italian scientist and natural philosopher, by the 17th century Roman Catholic Church and its Inquisition for his observation that the earth revolves around the Sun and not the other way around as church dogma insisted.
Copies of both plays are available at the Library; call 847-448-8620 to reserve.
