Inherit the Wind
By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
Presented by special arrangement with DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE. INC.
Directed by Pat O’Neill
Debuting in 1955, the story is a fictionalization of the 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial and served as a vehicle to discuss the then-contemporary “Red Scare” trials spearheaded by Senator Joseph P. McCarthy. The play has contemporary resonance and relevance as the debate over creationism versus evolution continues across America today.
