Museum at 265 Massachusetts Avenue
A theatrical production written by Craig Baxter
and produced by the
<http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/content/view/99/83/>Darwin
Correspondence Project at Cambridge University
in Great Britain. This one act play is based on
Darwin's correspondence with his close friend
Asa Gray, an American botanist at Harvard. The
Atlantic Ocean between them, Darwin and Gray
worked to reconcile orthodox Christian beliefs
with Darwin's emerging theory of evolution by
natural selection. We enter their minds and
worlds as in their own words they debate
the great issues of science and religion, war,
and slavery, but also share news of personal
tragedies and triumphs, holidays and gardening.
The play raises crucial questions about the
implications of Darwin's theory of evolution
for religious ideas of creation and design.
Each performance will be followed by a
discussion moderated by MIT Museum Director John Durant.
Co-sponsored with the MIT Museum
