The Ride of Your Life 

Premiered Polka Theatre September 2009
By Mick Gordon

‘Now I’ll never get a Gold Star. And I still don’t understand evolution! And I can’t even copy Science homework without making big mistakes!’

When Charlie and his totally ugly dog Fitz jump onboard The Ride of Your Life – a rollercoaster which sends you back in time – they experience Charlie’s homework on Charles Darwin first-hand. From dinosaurs to DNA, from the Beagle to the biosphere, Charlie finds the answer to life’s big questions: how did we get here…and where are we going?


The Ride of Your Life was written as part of Darwin200, celebrating the life and work of Charles Darwin.
