The Atlantic Ocean between them, Darwin in England and his friend and
co-scientist Asa Gray at Harvard worked to reconcile orthodox
Christian beliefs with Darwin's emerging theory of evolution by
natural selection. We enter their minds and worlds as - in their own
words - they debate the great issues of science and religion, war, and
slavery, but also share news of personal tragedies and triumphs,
holidays and gardening. This video brings you highlights of Re:Design, the dramatisation by Craig Baxter in collaboration
with Cambridge University's Darwin Correspondence Project
(http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk). Produced by Menagerie Theatre
Company, and filmed by Cambridge Media.
