The accused was a slight, frightened man who had deliberately broken the law. His trial was a Roman circus. The chief gladiators were two great legal giants of the century. Like two bull elephants locked in mortal combat, they bellowed and roared imprecations and abuse. The spectators sat uneasily in the sweltering heat with murder in their hearts, barely able to restrain themselves. At stake was the freedom of every American. One of the most moving and meaningful plays of our generation.
Praise for Inherit the Wind
"A tidal wave of a drama."âNew York World-Telegram And Sun
âJerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee were classic Broadway scribes who knew how to crank out serious plays for thinking Americans. . . . Inherit the Wind is a perpetually prescient courtroom battle over the legality of teaching evolution. . . . Weâre still arguing this caseâall the way to the White House.ââChicago Tribune
âPowerful . . . a crackling good courtroom play . . . [that] provides two of the juiciest roles in American theater.ââCopley News Service
â[This] historical drama . . . deserves respect.ââThe Columbus Dispatch
