You think this isn't hard work????
A very busy director, Mrs. Lindsey.

"Inherit the Wind," although not a history, is
based on certain events which took place in a small
town in Tennessee during the summer of 1925. The
dramatic action of the play revolves around the
clash of two giants of the legal and political world.
Henry Drummond and Matthew Harrison Brady meet
in the courtroom to determine the right of a teacher,
Bertram Cates, to acquaint his class with the basic
ideas found in Darwin's "Origin
of
Species". As the
trial progresses, it grows to encompass more than
the question of guilt or innocence of Bertram Cates.
We find the town and even the state brought into
the conflict which eventually brings out the primary
question being asked which is, "Does a man, any
man, have the right to think for himself and to
express those thoughts publicly."
