Timberlake Wertenbaker 5听July 2004
On staging Galileo's Daughter

Albert Einstein called Galileo "the father of modern physics - indeed of modern science altogether." But, unknown to most, he was also the father of a young woman, with whom he exchanged countless letters.

Timberlake Wertenbaker鈥檚 latest play, Galileo鈥檚 Daughter, explores their complex relationship, against the backdrop of Galileo鈥檚 clash with the Catholic church.

She听talks to Jenni about bringing historical figures to life and the relevance of contemporary theatre.


The premiere performance of playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker鈥檚 Galileo鈥檚 Daughter takes place at Bath Theatre Royal on Friday 9 July

GaliIeo's Daughter is based on the book of the same title by Dava Sobel
