| "Timothy Hyland is determinedly anti-heroic in the title role. He displays the pride and arrogance of a tragic hero, but he puts those qualities aside in favor of survival. One of Galileo's students, lamenting that the master didn't have the guts to go down in flames like Bruno, says, "Pity the country that has no heroes!" To which Galileo responds, "Pity the country that needs heroes"... Director Rosa Joshi puts on a spare, astringent show. However, using Seattle University staff and students for acting and technical support allows for an impressive production that does seem to include half the population of 17th-century Rome." ––Joe Adcock 11/1/2007 |

| "The play has obvious implications for our own scientific era of genetic engineering and global warming. But it is the volatile, unpredictable element of human behavior that can make Galileo more than a dialectical debate." ––Misha Berson 11/1/2007 |

| "The play (about the one-man collision of reason, faith, doubt, and arrogance that was Galileo) is one of Brecht's greats. The actors (including Timothy Hyland, Hana Lass, Troy Fischnaller, John Farrage, and Gabriel Baron, who won the 2005 Stranger Genius Award) are all capable. People still talk about director Rosa Joshi's 2006 production of King John. And the technical director is Greg Carter, the award-winning company's artistic director and animus." ––Brendan Kiley 9/30/2007 |
