Only recently has the play received adequate academic recognition as the unrivaled masterpiece of Italian comic theater. T.B.

Henrik Ibsen was the pioneer who opened the new frontiers of the modern drama and violated all the unwritten taboos of the nineteenth-century theater. Whatever theme he touched, Ibsen brought light into the dark corners of the soul and the society, and with it his grim humor, scathing irony, and his wealth of compassionate understanding for weak and fallible humanity. In A Doll's House, one of his finest plays, Ibsen fought against the subjugation of modern woman.

Tom Stoppard, author of such plays as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Travesties, turned savage satire in The Real Inspector Hound. Stoppard has become one of the most widely acclaimed of the current English dramatists and his works are produced regularly in European and American theaters. Of The Real Inspector Hound, the London Observer said, “…it’s time we stopped dismissing comedy as an inferior genre, and thanked Heaven for a new comic master.”

GalileoApril 11–14 and May 11–12, 1984A play by Bertolt Brecht
Production Staff
Director: James Fisher
That the word “Brechtian” has entered the vocabulary of theater and film criticism and is to be found not only in professional journals but in the popular press as well, would testify to the profound influence Bertolt Brecht and his “epic theater” have had on the contemporary theater world. More than an historical drama, Galileo poses many troubling questions in an age of increased technology and scientific discovery “…Galileo is entirely contemporary in view of the events of our atomic age and in relation to certain problems of conscience.”
