• LA Theatre Works, Sunday, April 12 at 10:00 pm, "And The Sun Stood Still" starring Robert Foxworth, Gregory Harrison, and John Vickery

  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. The play follows Copernicus in those final years as he works to complete his research with the help of Georg Rheticus, a young disciple from Wittenberg, Germany. Includes a conversation with playwright Dava Sobel, author of A More Perfect Heaven: How Copernicus Revolutionized the Cosmos.

Their guest is Leonard David — space journalist, author, and a man who's been reporting on humanity's off-world ambitions for over 50 years.
