Bettany is brilliant in this thoughtful, moving take on Darwin's lifelong struggle to overcome the loss of his beloved daughter, Annie, and the parallel dilemma whether to publish his world-shattering theory of evolution. This is an ambitious, original drama about the importance of family, about the birth and nurturing of powerful ideas and their impact on society, indeed about the many meanings of the word 'creation'.

For screenings at Hereford Cathedral, College Hall lies between the Cathedral and the river and, during the current Close regeneration scheme, is approached via the walkway at the Castle Street end of the Cathedral - look for signs pointing the way.
