Correspondence
Project</a></u></font><font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size=4> 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.<br>
