If Charles Darwin were alive today, he’d be 199 years old. And, assuming he was still able and willing to travel at that advanced age, he might be amused to see anthropologist Richard Milner’s one-man musical about his life, presented next Wednesday at Town Hall. Milner draws on historic photographs, illustrations and thousands of letters between Darwin and his contemporaries, punched up with Gilbert and Sullivan song parodies. “The Darwin I have in my show is not the Darwin of The Origin of Species but the Darwin of the letters, who was a very, very interesting man,” says Milner. Song snippets are available at DarwinLive.com, and tickets, as usual, are just $5 at Town Hall.
