Another Review

DCist weighs in as well.

The comment that has already appeared is interesting. I guess if you aren't familiar with Timberlake Wertenbaker one might think this could be some kind of creationist piece.

For the record, it's totally not.

If you know me, if you know Grady, you could probably guess that we wouldn't be involved in something that carried any kind of a right leaning agenda. My biology teacher father would disown me if I put anything out into the world that didn't "teach good science".

And when it comes right down to it--while the intelligent design issue makes the play more immediately current--it really has very little to do with our contemporary version of that debate. It examines, in the historical scenes, what it meant to put information out there that would completely and irreversibly change the way we as humans perceived the world. It's an interesting idea to try to wrap your brain around. What kind of information would achieve that effect today? The existence of life forms elsewhere in the universe, maybe?
