The Man From Earth

A wonderful one room play. A university professor is moving on, and his colleagues are intrigued as to to why. He presents them with a fascinating tale, how he has to move on every ten years or so because he is immortal. Since his colleagues include a historian, an archaeologist and an anthropologist the are convinced he knows his subjects, but everything is verifiable by text book.

Of course, as with all low tech SF films, it eventually gets around to morality questions and theology. Still, all done in a very good way.
