More Information About After Darwin
Description
Timberlake Wertenbaker's brain-teasing play addresses the ruling metaphor of our times: the survival of the fittest. Set in two distinct periods, After Darwin follows Charles Darwin traveling aboard The Beagle with Robert FitzRoy into uncharted waters off the coast of South America, and then, hundreds of years later, Millie, Ian and Tom as they re-create a stage version of Darwin's travels. During their staging, they uncover the polarities both in and between their own lives. It's a rich, absorbing piece that tackles the issue of evolution, and how we live with one another in a world where, for many, "belief" has been replaced by a void.
Featuring Grady Weatherford, Eric Messner, Elizabeth Richards and Dallas Miller
