INHERIT THE WIND
By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
Feel the heat of the courtroom in the sizzling American classic Inherit the Wind, an explosive drama inspired by the most important trial of the 20th Century, the Scopes Monkey Trial, on its 100th anniversary. As a media circus descends on a small Tennessee town, two of the nation’s most powerful lawyers go head-to-head in the ultimate battle of wits, wills, and the political and religious divide that could be ripped directly from today’s headlines. In a fresh production boldly re-imagined for today, the fast-paced drama explores religion, intellectual freedom and the relationship between social norms and law.
Clarence Brown Theatre
Approximate length: 2 hours
Recommended for: Mature middle school and up
Advisories: Inherit the Wind includes a very brief discussion of sex.Â
