A brand new comedy about science and ethics by "a new young dramatist of exceptional wit and promise for the future" - Daily Telegraph"No; really; who needs evolution when you have plastic surgery?"Malibu; California. The present.Charles Darwin has wound up in a beach house overlooking the Pacific with a girl young enough to be his daughter. One hundred and forty-five years have passed since the publication of The Origin of Species; and over a hundred and twenty years since Darwins own death.But 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 lives of hermaphroditic barnacles.Darwin in Malibu premiered at Birmingham Repertory Theatre where it was nominated for the TMA Award for Best New Play."Fiercely intelligent...an exceptionally spry play; with big ideas and a big heart. You should see it - not just because its there; but because we are here. Along with the barnacles and stars." Guardian

DetillierAs someone who grew up and still lives in south Louisiana it is fascinating to see the plantation homes of Alabamas Black Belt and how similar they are to the ones here along the bayou and river parish areas.The architecture and the layout of the homes are really beautiful to see in the 17 homes presented.It is a "must get" for people interested in plantations homes of the Deep South and Jennifer did a great job presenting the stories of these homes to the reader..Hope Jenn will do a second book on plantation homes...It was extremely well written and a very enjoyable read.Mike D.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good bookBy DBThis is a very informative book about antebellum homes. It is our hobby to visit plantations in the south. Unlike my other plantation books; the photos are in black and white and there is no addresses for them. Even if we cannot tour a home; we do like to take photos and on many an occasion the owners lets us in their yards to take photos.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great BookBy R.
