A classic courtroom drama that stands the test of time, Inherit the Wind puts on trial our perceptions of what is “right” and “wrong”. Although the play is a fictional re-creation of the Scopes “monkey trial” of 1925 — in which a Tennessee high-school science teacher was tried for including Darwin’s theories of evolution in his curriculum — it easily fits into the ongoing battles of morality and belief systems in today’s environment. Even as humankind becomes more sophisticated in our thought processes, at the end of the day we are still struggling to understand the basic truths in the world around us.

 

“The two hour presentation breezes by, with top notch acting, imaginative stage design and a live band providing ambient music that is dead-on with the spirit and feeling of the times.”
