CANCELLED - The Selfish Gene the musical (UK)
The world’s first biomusical comedy.
The Adamson family are trying to get on with their day (and lives) when Eugene bursts in to tell them they’re doing it all wrong. Listen to him, he’s been getting it right for years.
Can Daniel save his company and marriage? How can Eve give her kidneys to both her brother and her son? Will Alison choose the right mating strategy? And why is Gregory so keen to go to war? Driven on by Eugene, they are led down conflicting and destructive paths. Can they rebel and save the day?
Loosely but faithfully based on Richard Dawkins’ seminal book, this is a modern-day morality tale of overcoming our baser instincts and offering humanity hope.
