Just in time for Women's History Month, 4th Wall brings the story of a playwright, unsettled by a personal crisis, who flees to Florence to study the letters between Galileo and his eldest daughter Maria Celeste, whom he has taught to transcribe his work. Caught up in the threats against her father, Maria must abandon her work and join a convent. The writer’s discovery of Maria’s strength and tenacity inspires her own pursuit of purpose. Alternating between past and present, this play is a personal examination of faith, forgiveness, and the cost of seeking and speaking truth. Starring Robbin Joyce, Jerry Bisantz and Sandy Clancy.
