A Chinese version of German classic play Life of Galileo will be staged from July 5 to 14 in the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center.

As one of German playwright Bertolt Brecht's greatest masterpieces, the play was written in 1938 and received its first theatrical production at the Zurich Schauspielhaus, Switzerland, in September 1943.

The play follows the career of legendary Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei, and his struggle to prove the Copernican theory of a heliocentric universe.

The Chinese version is directed by Ivan Panteleev from the Deutsches Theater Berlin.
