In the courtroom of a small Tennessee town, two historical giants of the legal profession do battle in a fictionalized version of the 1925 Scopes “Monkey” trial: Mathew Harrison Brady, a character based on William Jennings Bryan, a three time presidential candidate and staunch defender of the biblical view of creation; and Henry Drummond, a character based on Clarence Darrow, defender of the teenage murderers, Leopold and Loeb, and the advocate for John Scopes, who exposed his students to Darwin’s theory of evolution.
With a cast of 40 people, INHERIT THE WIND explores the conflict between the Creationists and Evolutionists, between the teachings of the Bible and those of Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Without taking sides, it is a plea for keeping an open mind, thinking critically, and tolerating intellectual differences.
