"The Galileo Players explore the inherent conflict between science and faith, and question why people believe what they believe. Pretty heady stuff for a group of funny men and women. But the approach has worked."
Daily Herald
"Deliciously and provocatively funny. replete of intelligent writing and smart themes."
