"Inherit the Wind"
A Play written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
Inherit the Wind is a play based on the real-life 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial. The electrifying courtroom drama pits two towering legal minds against each other in a small-town battle over science, religion, and the right to think freely. As the town becomes a stage for national attention, personal conviction clashes with public opinion in a trial that transcends its time. Inherit the Wind, the American classic by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, is a searing, deeply human portrait of a country still wrestling with the cost—and courage—of progress.
