In 1831, Charles Darwin, a twenty-two-year-old aspiring naturalist,
stepped on board HMS Beagle. Little did he realise that the voyage
would last five years, changing not only his own life – but also
the history of the entire world. The Wider Earth brings this
era-defining adventure to life, from traversing the dizzying
heights of the Andes to diving into the depths of the Brazilian
rainforest, through weathering the storms of Tierra del Fuego, to
exploring the endless wonders of the Galápagos Islands. It's a
coming-of-age story about science and faith – of how one
inquisitive young man asked a question of Mother Nature, and was
set on course to discover the answer to one of the greatest
mysteries of life on Earth. David Morton's play received its widely
acclaimed premiere at Queensland Theatre in Australia in 2016,
before transferring to the Natural History Museum, London, in
October 2018, presented by Trish Wadley Productions, Dead Puppet
Society and Glass Half Full Productions, in a partnership project
with the Natural History Museum. Originally performed in a dazzling
state-of-the-art production with remarkable puppetry and cinematic
animations, the powerful story at the heart of The Wider Earth will
inspire schools, colleges and amateur theatre companies to create
simpler – but no less spectacular – stagings of their own. This
edition includes 4 pages of colour production photos from the 2018
Sydney Festival and Sydney Opera House production.
