Darwin in Malibu

New York Times: "Sometimes just the premise of a play is enough to make you like it. Here in 2006, as news reports tell us that more than half of Americans don’t believe in evolution, Crispin Whittell’s “Darwin in Malibu” comes along, transforming the argument between science and creationism into a comedy. And just to make things juicier, Mr. Whittell has turned the discussion over to the original characters: Charles Darwin; his staunch defender Thomas Huxley; and the voice of organized religion, Samuel Wilberforce, the bishop of Oxford."
