Inherit the Wind

Written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
Directed by Elizabeth Sickerman

Inspired by the historic 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, Inherit the Wind is a powerful courtroom drama that explores the enduring conflict between faith, science, and the freedom to think.

When a small-town Tennessee teacher is put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the case ignites a national debate that reaches far beyond the courtroom. Facing off are two brilliant legal minds: the renowned defense attorney Henry Drummond, who champions intellectual freedom, and the celebrated orator Matthew Harrison Brady, whose unwavering religious convictions fuel the prosecution.

As the trial unfolds, personal beliefs, public opinion, and the pursuit of truth collide in a gripping battle of ideas. Timely, thought-provoking, and deeply relevant, Inherit the Wind is a compelling examination of justice, conviction, and the courage to question the world around us.
