Galileo in Cheshire Academy

Do you know the center of the universe is the sun? People in 1500 believed that the center of the universe was earth but not sun. However, one person stood out aganist the theory that the church published and proved that the center of the universe was sun. That person was called Galileo.

The play of Galileo was talking about how did Galileo first ‘’invent’’ the first telescope in the world. Then how did he used his telescope to discover that the center of the universe wasn’t earth. After that, he tried to tell people the theory that the Church published was not true. Soon, the Church found out that Galileo was doing this, and the Church think this will make them start to losing the power they have. They try to stop what Galileo want to tell, but in the same time, Galileo already know this wouldn’t be an easy fight. He was ready for any challenge that was coming to him.

Now I want to tell something about this play. This is a very interesting play because it was wrote by a German poet who named Bertolt Brecht. He was a very famous person because he had wrote lots of great play. Galileo was just one of them, there were more great play that was wrote by him.

Just like what I said, he was a really great poet, this mean he must doing very well on word. The truth told us it is correct because in the play of Galileo, the word he used were very difficult but also remarkable depth. The reason why I would know that was because I couldn’t understand them. It is because I’m not good at English, but if the audience was an English professor, he probably will think this play was very good.

Beside the language he used in the play, the character that he set up in it was very important to the play. Usually when people go watch a play, they might only have two to three main character and four to five not main character. In this play, instead of small amount of characters, he used almost twenty characters. This make the play become more easy to understand what happen to Galileo and the people around him. It was just like reading the bibliography of Galileo, but more interesting than just reading a book. This was one of the point I like about this play!

Last but not least, I would like to talk about those people who act in the play. This is not about the meaning of Galileo but about the actors. Those actors are like us, Cheshire Academy students, but what they did was not only performed the play. They were performed with their enthusiasm, I could feel it when I was sitting at my seat. It was something can’t be describe, because you must watch it by yourself then you will now what I’m talking about.

All of them were doing a great job, not only memorize all these difficult script, but also know where they should be and when. This was something need to be practice and practice for long time. I really thank those students who bring us such a beautiful play, and thank to Mr.Aronson who direct this wonderful play.
