Description: Inherit the Wind : The Powerful Drama of the Greatest Courtroom Clash of the Century. Inherit the Wind isa fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, which took place between July 10 and July 21, 1925, and resulted in John T. Scopes's conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law. The predominant theme in Inherit the Wind isfreedom of thought. Cates, like Scopes, is arrested for violating the Butler Law, which prohibits teaching evolutionary theory in public schools in Tennessee, effectively censoring what could be taught in public school classrooms. The play's titlecomes from Proverbs 11:29, which in the King James Bible reads: He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.
