"Inherit the Wind" Back on Broadway
"Inherit the Wind," a fictional account of the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial is back on Broadway after 50 years. The revival stars Christopher Plummer and Brian Brian Dennehy as Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan, the two great protagonists who came to Dayton, Tenn. to debate evolution and religion.
Tony Award-winning director, Doug Hughes, says efforts to weaken the teaching of evolution in public schools in Kansas, Pennsylvania and Georgia, make the work more relevant today than when it first opened in 1955.
