Doing justice to the story of a 17th century scientific luminary is a difficult task to begin with, but bringing it to life through the words of Bertolt Brecht is a theatrical challenge for the ages. Luckily, it's a one that Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham, who plays the title Italian revolutionary in "Galileo," is more than ready for. Broadway.com headed downtown to off-Broadway's Classic Stage Company to chat with Abraham and some talented castmates about this challenging piece. Topics include: What makes a show set in the 1600s and written in the 1940s so relevant now, why it's way more fun that it sounds, and yes, how many naked people you can expect to see on stage.
