Darwin at Dawn My Dinner with Andre the GiantDarwin at Dawn
Synopsis:
In 1849, Charles Darwin is in a race against time. Over the objections of his wife, Emma, he has begun writing his book, On the Origin of Species. Charles knows that other scientists are working to publish similar theories and that his work will change scientific inquiry forever. Emma fears that God will smite them for challenging belief in the creation. When Annie, Darwin's young daughter, suddenly contracts a serious illness but Charles continues his work, the rift between Emma and Charles grows. Will their marriage crumble? What is the nature of his daughter's illness? Is this all God's punishment or simply the natural order of things?

Top of PageMy Dinner with Andre the Giant
Synopsis:
Based upon a true story: At 12 years old, Andre Roussimoff (who grew up to be the famous wrestler Andre the Giant) was already over 6 feet tall, 240 pounds, and didn't fit on the school bus. His next-door neighbor was the playwright Samuel Beckett. In return for a favor he owed Andre's father, Beckett offered to drive the boy to school in his truck. Out of that bit of trivia comes a play that imagines a lifelong friendship between a giant who wanted to hide and a writer obsessed with silence.
