Millie, a director, discusses with her actors, Ian and Tom, how to
interpret two famous historical figures from the nineteenth century.
It's 1831. The naturalist Charles Darwin is invited to travel with
Robert Fitzroy into uncharted waters off the coast of South America
aboard 'The Beagle'. Their five year journey is fraught with
philosophical and personal tensions. Fitzroy, a staunch Christian, has
faith in the unquestionable authority of the Bible; Darwin begins to
explore a more radical vision, his theory of natural selection. A
meditation on history and human relationships, _After Darwin_ links
past and present through these five characters, and raises timeless
questions about faith, friendship and how we interpret the past.
_After Darwin_ was first performed in July 1998, at Hampstead Theatre,
London.
