Chicago Theatre Review - Highly Recommended 
"The relevancy of Brecht’s text, though, would not hit home without Remy Bumppo’s outstanding production,... Directed with great precision by Nick Sandys, the cast is uniformly excellent... ‘Life of Galileo’ is an essential play for the America of today, and one that audiences should eagerly see – scientific literacy notwithstanding!"

Chicago Reader - 
"...Nick Sandys's production for Remy Bumppo Theatre Company also calls to mind the 20th century, particularly in Rachel Lambert's postwar-era costumes. Playing Galileo and his fellow scientists as well as their religious adversaries, an enthusiastic cast capture the intelligence and righteous outrage in Brecht's script."
​
ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended
"...Finding the real conflict in the story is director Nick Sandys’s accomplishment as well. For most of the play, we are presented with a person who is objectively right battling with people who are willfully ignorant and wicked or think themselves to be engaged in a noble lie. Rachel Lambert’s early twentieth century costume design and John Boesche’s projections of dates and places referencing Brecht’s life are obscure to people who don’t already know their significance, but don’t detract from the presentation, and look quite lovely with Joe Klug’s set."  Read Full Review
