"Inherit the Wind," written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee, is a dramatized account of the famous Scopes "Monkey" Trial of 1925, which focused on the conflict between science and religion. Set in the small town of Hillsboro, the play explores the trial of a teacher, Bertram Cates, who is prosecuted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in a public school. The story raises profound questions about freedom of thought, the nature of truth, and the clash between progressive ideas and traditional beliefs. Through the characters of defense attorney Henry Drummond and prosecutor Matthew Harrison Brady, the play critiques dogmatism and celebrates intellectual freedom.
