Searching for Galileo's Daughter
By: Jessica Dickey
Directed by: Anna Lyse Erikson
Starring: Jessica Dickey, Ginnifer Goodwin, Gregory Harrison, Moira Quirk, Nick Toren
🔆 NEW RELEASE!
The story of daughter’s love, a father’s truth, and a woman’s modern awakening.
The first child of the great astronomer Galileo entered a Tuscan convent in her teens. He’d taught her much about the heavens as a child, and during her years as a nun she remained scientifically curious while maintaining close contact with her father, even as the Catholic Church condemned him for promoting a sun-centered universe. Many of the letters she wrote to Galileo survive, and served as inspiration for Jessica Dickey’s play, which takes us on a freewheeling, time-shifting journey through Florence, Italy. The recording includes a conversation with author Jessica Dickey.
Recorded at The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood, in July 2025.
This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series of science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
