Description In 1859, Darwin's theory of evolution shook humanity, confronted science and challenged religion, including the profound faith of his beloved wife Emma. Arthur Meek's bold new play Collapsing Creation explores the courage of a visionary who must battle his conscience and soul to change the world - and find the strength to face the fallout.
