Inherit the Wind"The right to think" is put on trial in Inherit the Wind, a thrilling courtroom drama by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E Lee with a voice that echoes through the ages, seen at The Old Vic in a production directed by Trevor Nunn. The play's spark came from the famous Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, in which Tennessee high school coach John Scopes agreed to teach the theory of evolution to a class, which violated a state law. But this Creationism versus Darwinism case was merely an artistic tool for the playwrights to make a wider political point, writing, as they were, at the height of McCarthyism in the 1950s, and using the example of pitting two great legal brains against each other in the battle for the mind. To this end, the names and characters were changed and what we are left with is a drama of intellectual fireworks that cuts right to the heart of human rights. A wonderful ensemble cast including Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey should make this play fizz.
 

About Old Vic Theatre

With the exception of The Globe, the Old Vic has had a greater influence on the history of drama than any theatre standing today. From John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier, to Kevin Spacey and Judi Dench, the Vic has played host to generation after generation of stars since it opened its doors in 1818. More about Old Vic Theatre
