The International Science Theatre Festival 2014.
The first edition of The International Science Theatre Festival within Science in the City, Malta will take place between the 26th and 28th September 2014, at The Presidential Palace Courtyard in Valletta.
Two productions starring Tim Hardy and Pino Scicluna will headline the festival – The Trials of Galileo and L’Uomo che peso’ il Mondo.
In The Trials of Galileo, Tim Hardy – a professor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), veteran of The Royal Shakespeare Company and star of major European tours – will be exploring the first flowerings of scientific truth crushed by the bully church.
The Universe is a divine miracle Galileo, not a clockwork toy! ‘Proof’ denies faith, and without faith we are nothing.”
The play is written by Emmy Award winner Nic Young and is presented by the Icarus Theatre Collective from London.
The show starts at 20:00hrs at the Palace Courtyard, Valletta. Running time is 1hr 10min with no interval.

In the second production headlining this Festival, the Italo-Maltese actor Pino Scicluna is back on stage with L’uomo che peso’ il Mondo – a one hour long performance, exploring the discoveries of Cavendisch, Newton, Kepler and Brahe and investigating the biographical aspects of human emotions, unknown to most people.
An hour of pure theatre, peering into the minds and in the everyday life of ‘scientific giants’.
The play is written by Italian actress Katia Capato and Pino Scicluna who together founded Nuove Cosmogonie Teatro in 2012.
The performance will be in the Italian language.
Astrophysicists from the Institute of Space Sciences and Astronomy – ISSA – University of Malta (University of Malta) will be present after the performances of Saturday and Sunday for a Q&A session.
This solo play is one hour long and starts after The Trials of Galileo’ ends, at 22:00hrs, at the Presidential Palace Courtyard, Valletta.
