Win tickets to see The Wider Earth at the Natural History Museum

We have four tickets to give away to a family or group to see the European premiere of the award-winning drama, The Wider Earth, in a new theatre in the Jerwood Gallery at the Natural History Museum.

The play, about the story of a young Charles Darwin, will then run for a limited season starting on 13th October and running through til 30th Decemeber. 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. 

Featuring a cast of seven, and 30 hand-made puppets representing the exotic wildlife Darwin encountered, The Wider Earth is an ingenious coming-of-age story which celebrates the incredible complexity of our planet and Darwin’s adventurous spirit as he faced perilous environments and unknown dangers on his bold voyage.

The production explores the little-known story of the young Charles Darwin when, aged only 22, he set out on his daring five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle.  When he departed, he could not have known that that this trip would help him reach controversial conclusions about natural selection and lead to his theory of evolution.  The Wider Earth follows Darwin's expedition as uncharted landscapes unfold in a series of dazzling animations and original illustrations from the voyage

This will be the first time a performance-based theatre has been constructed in the Museum.
