Intrigue and espionage are set in motion as fact and fiction mix in the historical drama An Inquiry in Florence, written by promising new playwright Barton Kunstler. Set in 1638, An Inquiry in Florence is based on an actual meeting in Florence between a young John Milton, the English poet best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost, and the aged and blind Galileo who had been placed under house arrest by the Inquisition. The audience is invited to stay after the reading to take part in a Talk Back with Kunstler who promises to shed light on this evocative and highly charged moment
in history.
