Although the conflict in this play, based on a real event, took place in 1925, it could easily be lifted from the current headline, "American Students: Should They Be Taught Intelligent Design or Evolution?"
This courtroom drama is based on the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial," in which a Tennessee teacher was charged with teaching that man evolved from apes, instead of state-mandated Creationism. The drama contains a powerful confrontation between a character based on William Jennings Bryan, who believes only what he reads in the Bible, and another based on Clarence Darrow, who defends science and open intellectual inquiry.
