INHERIT THE WIND
Presented by CenterStage Players of Ohio
Sept. 26-Oct. 4
North College Hill
Directed by Fred Hunt
This drama is a partly fictionalized courtroom drama of the “Monkey Trial” battle (in the sultry summer of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee) between two famous lawyers (Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan) who volunteered to argue both sides of the case. Its story centers around the issue of evolution vs. creationism, in the prosecution of 24 year-old Dayton High School math teacher and sports coach – and substitute science teacher – John T. Scopes for violating state law by teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution in a state-funded school. The plays title is taken from the Biblical book of Proverbs 11:29: “He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.”
