The Evolution vs. Creationism argument is at the center of this Tony Award-winning courtroom drama. Inspired by the 1925 Scopes "Monkey Trial" in which schoolteacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution in violation of Tennessee law, this thrilling play remains powerfully resonant.
