RE: Design is a fascinating dramatization of the 30 years of correspondence between Charles Darwin in England and Asa Gray in Boston, produced by the English theater group, Menagerie, and commissioned by the Darwin Correspondence Project at the University of Cambridge. It will offer a window onto the minds and worlds of these two groundbreaking 19th century naturalists as they debate the consequences for religious belief of Darwin’s new theory of evolution by natural selection. The one act play will be followed by a panel discussion with director Paul Bourne and Janet Browne, the Aramont Professor of the History of Science.
