“Love leaves its mark on people. I know it left its mark on me; and I’m not just talking about my ex here. Love changes you. You know that from your own failed marriage. It changed you. Love changes you, like one of Lamarck’s giraffes that wants those berries so much it’s stretched its neck trying to reach them. Lamarck was wrong about that stretched-out neck being passed on to the giraffe’s babies, but maybe not about the giraffe wanting a longer neck.”
About the play:
1m, 2f
By any stretch of the imagination, it’s only natural that Suzy, a lierature professor, would discover that Annie, an evolutionary biollogist, should have magical powers: whenever Anne deescrubes an unusual evolutinary adaptation, the person she’s talkng to starts actng it out. Soon Suzy must decide whether to stick her neck out and intervene when she observes the disturbing ways Annie is evolving, and she sees how Doug, a religious studies professor, has had to adapt when Annie selects him as the subject of her experiments.
