Improvement on Nature: a double act
World Premiere.
Improvemnt on Nature is based on what happens when Mary takes Charles to her bed for true science and publishes the details of their union as a series of boxed amputations. For true science. Or what she thinks is the truth of science. And because it is for science that makes it all right; because science is real and everything, everything else is just the imagination. It's the scientific enquiry of Charles Darwin incubated by the traumatised imagination of Mary Shelly. This is a meditation on the double act. How things begin and how they end, designed by the farmer and the butcher and with the Vet's daughter bucking steed just out of sight.
