The Wider Earth

BEFORE DARWIN CHANGED THE WORLD, ONE VOYAGE CHANGED HIS LIFE.

General Managed by Greene Light Stage, a new theatre in the Jerwood Gallery at the Natural History Museum was unveiled for the European premiere of award-winning drama The Wider Earth. The play, about the story of a young Charles Darwin, ran for a limited 21 week season which included an 8 week extension on the original dates.

Join the 22 year old Darwin on HMS Beagle’s daring voyage to the far side of the world and discover the gripping story behind one of the most important discoveries in history.

The Wider Earth featured a cast of seven, remarkable puppetry, an original score, and cinematic animations to bring to life uncharted landscapes in the theatrical event of 2018.
