Two Men of Florence by Richard Goodwin March 15, 2009

Huntington Theatre Company "Dick Goodwin is such a legend here in Boston, and I've always admired his writing. The story behind his play fascinates me, and what he's done is made the Pope an intellectual and Galileo a man of faith, which creates a very real, very human dynamic." Peter DuBios Two men: Friends. Intellectual powerhouses. Giants in their respective fields. Galileo Galilei and Pope Urban VIII face off in a battle for the soul of the world. A fiercely intelligent, epic drama from celebrated historian and former JFK speechwriter Richard N. Goodwin, directed by Edward Hall, associate director of Londons National Theatre and one of Englands most gifted directors. "A triumph! A splendid celebration of theatre."
