Born in London, a life-long atheist and advocate of the
facts of evolution, I studied biochemistry at University
College London and on moving to New York City
became a medical and science writer. I am also a
novelist, a graphic designer and artist--a man of two
cultures. I now live in New York State's Hudson Valley.

Imagine Darwin introducing Galileo to evolution for the first
time. What would this master of maths and logic make of
Darwin's account? Would he be impressed? Turns out, he
isn't. In fact, he decides he can come up with a better theory of
evolution and win for himself fame equal to Darwin's. This 90-minute play is
at the same time a modern comedy about two cranky old men jockeying for
power and a classic philosophical dialogue about one of the major issues of
our day: what does it mean for human nature that we evolved? The play is an
amusing exercise in critical thinking, suitable both for humanities students
with an interest in human nature and a public hungry for some original
thinking. Permission to perfom, free, to student groups, email.
