Dava Sobel’s thoughtful play brings to life the story of Nicolaus Copernicus, the Renaissance astronomer and mathematician who proposed the heliocentric model of the universe in which the Sun stands at the center. Plagued by self-doubt and threatened by religious censure, Copernicus resisted the publication of his work until just before his death in 1543. Starring Robert Foxworth as Copernicus, Gregory Harrison as Giese, Michael Kirby as Rheticus, Kate Steele as Anna, and John Vickery as Bishop Dantiscus.
