>><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
