Does God really exist? Are science and religion incompatible bedfellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely, he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furor. But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret addendum to his seminal work, Origin of Species. And suppose his beloved wife, Emma, who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript. The novel Survival of the Fittest is the modern story of the search.

Comedy / Characters: 3 male, 3 femaleScenery: InteriorThis boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris, where it played for over two years, and in London, where critical acclaim greeted the Apollo Theatre production. Bernard is planing a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed."Hurtling along at the speed of light, [this] breathtaking farce is a near faultless piece of theatrical invention." Guardian."Nifty." London Sunday Times

Pozoruhodný alegorický príbeh o mierumilovnej spoločnosti, ktorú nepriateľský vpád urputne rozvracia. Rovinatá krajina sa vo vlahom povetrí vlní pokojne a nerušene, ďaleko od vojen a všetkých strastí ľudstva. Keď sa však prizrieme bližšie, čo to šuští v tráve, odhalíme mravčiu ríšu plnú chaosu a zmätkov. Kolónia čiernych mravcov sa práve prebúdza po dlhom zimnom spánku a čaká ju nemilé prekvapenie – červené mravce sa v arogantných šíkoch valia po mravenisku a ničia všetko, čo im príde do cesty.
