Inherit the Wind

In a courtroom in Tennessee, two giants go to war — and the freedom to think hangs in the balance. Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee’s landmark American drama, inspired by the Scopes “Monkey” Trial, pits a brilliant defense attorney against a thundering orator in a clash of science and faith that still crackles with urgency today. In our intimate 99-seat house, the power of this battle of ideas hits home. A towering piece of American theater — and a reminder of what’s at stake when a society turns on its own thinkers.
