An Evolved Comedy.

Malibu, California. The present.

One hundred and twenty years after his death, Charles Darwin is hanging out in a beach house overlooking the Pacific with a girl young enough to be his daughter. His peace is rudely disturbed when his old friend Thomas Huxley washes up on the beach closely followed by the Bishop of Oxford. Darwin suddenly finds himself entangled in a sparkling comedy of life and death, love and loss, and the sex life of hermaphroditic barnacles. You may think you know how such a discussion would end between the father of evolution and one of evolution’s most outspoken critics, but you will be surprised.
