Tooth and Claw
by Michael Hollinger
Directed by Terrence J. Nolen
On the F. Otto Haas Stage
Biologist Schuyler Baines arrives in the Galapagos Islands to run the Darwin Research Center, full of ideas and the best intentions. When she becomes aware of an exploding black market that threatens to destroy the islands’ fragile ecosystem, Schuyler shuts the industry down, sparking a deadly, survival-of-the-fittest conflict with native fishermen. A compelling exploration- based on actual events- of evolution, extinction, and the ever-present nature of Darwin’s ‘struggle for life.
