In 1825 Darwin arrived to study medicine. In 1831, he set sail on HMS Beagle: a journey that changed history. Retrace his steps with a team of actors recreating the characters that influenced Darwin's own evolution here in Edinburgh. Led by geologist and walk leader Angus Miller and written by theatre maker Jane Westhead. The show is a unique engaging blend of walking tour and immersive theatre to experience this influential time in Darwin's early life.
