Before Darwin changed the world, one voyage changed his life.
The award-winning drama The Wider Earth brings the story of the rebellious young Charles Darwin to the stage in spectacular style. An ensemble cast, remarkable puppetry, cinematic projections and an original score by Lior and Tony Buchen all combine to bring to life uncharted landscapes and incredible creatures in this highly ambitious theatrical event.
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.

"A voyage of extraordinary theatrical discovery that celebrates the power of curiosity, the natural world and big ideas." Sydney Morning Herald
