Darwin & the Dodo

Street Theatre

Venue : The Quarry Park, walkabout
Date : Sunday 5 July
Time : noon - 4pm

Does God play dice with the universe? Did dodos die out because we did them in? Why did Darwin spend eight years with only barnacles for company? Could all the species on earth fit in the ark? How did kangaroos get from Mount Ararat to Australia? Is the dodo’s last egg going to hatch? And who cares?

A comic walkabout for anywhere…All carried off in Desperate Men’s inimitable, dynamic and engaging style.

Highlights & News

The Shift-Time Blogging Project

Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services, including weblogs, photo and video sharing sites. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.
