A classic work of American theatre, based on the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, which pitted Clarence Darrow against William Jennings Bryan in defense of a schoolteacher accused of teaching the theory of evolution 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."--New York World-Telegram And Sun "Jerome 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. . . . We're still arguing this case-all the way to the White House."--Chicago Tribune "Powerful . . . a crackling good courtroom play . . . [that] provides two of the juiciest roles in American theater."--Copley News Service "[This] historical drama . . . deserves respect."--The Columbus Dispatch… (mer)
What makes _Inherit the Wind_ a memorable play is not that it skewers Christian fundamentalism - instead it goes after all of those who are too narrowminded to see an issue from another's point of view. This is demonstrated in the character of Hornbeck, a big city reporter who looks down his nose at the both the rubes of Hillsboro and the passion of Matthew Brady. This play is not a pro-evolution screed; rather, it is a testament to the importance of open-mindedness. ( )
This is the novelized Scopes Monkey Trial. My copy was written in play format. The Scopes Trial was the landmark case most people would say about teaching evolution in school. The real purpose of the case was to decide WHO controlled the schools, the local school board or the State. Evolution was just the vehicle through which control would be established. Of course, names and places were changed, but it would be obvious to anyone who has studied this case who the principal players were. Good reading if one is interested in the topic; if not, would probably bore you. There have been several famous movies made from this event with stars such as Jason Robards, Spencer Tracy, and George C. Scott. I like the non-fiction version best! 144 pages ( )
A courtroom drama about the struggle to bring an important scientific concept to the shoolrooms of the USA, not a milieu renowned for being an intellectual frontier. Of course there is also a conflict between two politicians one more given to derive his position from emotions and rhetoric, while the other is more a truth seeker. the audience of the play is far morer the jury than the players on the stage. It was of course made into a powerful movie in the 1960's and has had stage revivals, and TV versions ever since. ( )
Excellent classic. It is unfortunate how timely the message of this play still remains. As Eugene Robinson recently wrote, the anti-science crowd is careening into "lip-blubbering, self-destructive idiocy." ( )
من اطلاع نداشتم اما از ریویوی مردم آمریکا به نظر می‌رسه این محاکمه یه محاکمه مشهور در سال ۱۹۲۵ تو آمریکاست که نظریه‌ی داروین رو در برابر مذهب قرار می‌ده. چیزی که هنوز تو کشور ما برای طیف مذهبی حل نشده است. از این نظر نمایشنامه‌ی جالبیه. اما از بعد فنی بخوایم نگاه کنیم یکی از عواملی که نمایشنامه رو از متون روایی جدا می‌کنه نبود راویه... در صورتی که نویسنده‌ها تو دستور صحنه‌ها به حدی در روایت دخالت می‌کنند که حتی حس شخصیت‌ها رو نمایش می‌دن... به همین خاطر دستور صحنه‌های طولانی و بی‌مصرف باعث خستگی می‌شه.
