Description:
âThe Struggle for Existence: Darwin's Dreamsâ is an original play about Charles Darwin as he is writing the last chapter of The Origin of Species.

The play is written by Catherine Badgley (U-M Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Museum of Paleontology, and Residential College), directed by Kate Mendeloff (U-M Residential College Drama Program, director of Shakespeare in the Arb), and performed in the Exhibit Museum by a cast of students and faculty.
