“Remembering Darwin” incorporates everyone but the famed naturalist and founder of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
The Vortex Theatre will present Brian Hansen’s play online beginning on Friday, Feb. 19.
Charles Darwin was a loner, an iconoclast whose brilliance was eclipsed by his shyness. The geologist and biologist published his theory of evolution with compelling evidence in his 1859 book “On the Origin of Species.”

Long fascinated by the founder of evolutionary theory, playwright and retired University of New Mexico theater professor Hansen decided to present the scientist through the eyes of those around him.
