The play touches lightly on Darwin the scientist and then focuses in on Darwin the man. Likeable and deeply thoughtful, he did not set out to contradict the Bible or rock the establishment. Yet his theory of evolution by natural selection had tremendous impact in its day and is still a powerful tool today in the study of life, past and present, on this planet.
The play, Beyond Paradise - The Wild Life of a Gentle Man, takes place at Rye Community Centre and Tickets can be booked through the box office or by phone on 01797 224442.
