An evolutionary play

"Troubled House" is a play in three acts that examines the issue of evolution being presented as an exact science. What would happen in today's scholastic environment if a professor decided that evolution is just one of the possibilities for the existence of mankind and that there may be others. This play deals with this issue in that particular environment. Professor Keyes decides that it is wrong to teach as fact something that is not proven, but that he should keep an open mind and view evolution as a likely event, but not the only explanation for mankind. The play deftly points out how an entrenched belief can appear to be fact to those who hold it. It also points out that there are often severe consequences to those who might take a stand against the accepted norm. But it also shows how freeing it can be to take that stand even with the anticipated consequences. "Troubled House" is a recommended read.
