Robin Hawdon je britský dramatik, ktorého hry boli uvedené vo viac ako štyridsiatich krajinách a dvadsiatich jazykoch. Jeho romány sa zaoberajú zásadnými otázkami, ako je vplyv vedy na ľudský pokrok, ale aj predsudkami, ktoré tento pokrok brzdia. Hawdon rozpráva silné ľudské príbehy, ktoré sú často vzájomne prepojené. Jeho literárny prístup sa vyznačuje hĺbkou a skúmaním zložitých spoločenských a filozofických tém.
Pozoruhodný alegorický príbeh o mierumilovnej spoločnosti, ktorú nepriateľský vpád urputne rozvracia. Rovinatá krajina sa vo vlahom povetrí vlní pokojne a nerušene, ďaleko od vojen a všetkých strastí ľudstva. Keď sa však prizrieme bližšie, čo to šuští v tráve, odhalíme mravčiu ríšu plnú chaosu a zmätkov. Kolónia čiernych mravcov sa práve prebúdza po dlhom zimnom spánku a čaká ju nemilé prekvapenie – červené mravce sa v arogantných šíkoch valia po mravenisku a ničia všetko, čo im príde do cesty.
Divadelní program (texty Zdeněk Hořínek a Jitka Šotkovská) - premiéra 27. a 28. března 2010 na Činoherní scéně Městského divadla Brno. Konverzační komedie zkušeného britského dramatika Robina Hawdona slavila úspěchy na mnoha evropských jevištích. Ráno před svatbou se Bill probudí v posteli po noci, kterou si nepamatuje, s dívkou, kterou nezná, a navíc si ani nepamatuje, co se mezi nimi dělo? A dívka říká, že leccos. Nezbývá než ji okamžitě ukrýt do koupelny a za vydatné pomoci svědka Toma a nebohé, do věci omylem zapletené pokojské Julie, se pokusit vše utajit před nevěstou a její matkou. Vše se navíc definitivně zaplete ve chvíli, kdy Tom zjistí, která to dívka s Billem strávila noc. Vše v této komedii záměn, lží a nedorozumění spěje k nevyhnutelné katastrofě, která se nakonec ukáže paradoxně být tím nejšťastnějším řešením.
Does God really exist? Are science and religion incompatible bedfellows? Charles Darwin shook philosophy to its foundations with his theory of evolution, yet strangely, he himself refrained from commenting in depth about the religious implications for fear of adding to the furor. But suppose that he did in fact write down his conclusions as a secret addendum to his seminal work, Origin of Species. And suppose his beloved wife, Emma, who kept her own secret journal, was the only other person to know of this hidden postscript. The novel Survival of the Fittest is the modern story of the search.
