About the Show
Bay Street Theatre Sag Harbor, NY
Written by Crispin Whittell
Directed by Casey Stangl
Opening Night is May 5 at 8pm.
Charles Darwin (Robert Foxworth of HBO's Six Feet Under) peacefully spends his afterlife in a beach house with a free-spirited young girl (Rebecca Brooksher), until two old friends, Bishop Samuel Wilberforce (Corey Brill) and Thomas Huxley (Granville Van Dusen) come to visit, one determined to save Darwin's eternal soul and the other to preserve Darwin's theory of evolution. Caught in the middle of the debate between science and religion, this group of unlikely friends struggles to find the meaning of life, death, and plastic surgery.
Tuesday Night Forum
Due to the play's highly controversial and topical themes and issues, the Falcon will also host a Tuesday Night Forum immediately following each Tuesday night's performance for audience members who wish to discuss the play with the cast and a group of special guest panelists representing different fields of study.
