A Classic Drama by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Directed by Harry Friedman A gripping courtroom drama inspired by the famous 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, which challenged the legality of teaching evolution in a Tennessee classroom. When a high school teacher is put on trial for introducing Darwin’s theory to his students, the case quickly becomes a national spectacle, drawing two of the country’s most formidable attorneys to the small-town courtroom. As the fiery legal battle unfolds, the trial becomes more than just a question of science versus religion, it sparks a larger debate about intellectual freedom, the role of education, and the ongoing struggle to balance faith and progress. A timeless and thought-provoking reflection on the fundamental right to think.
