Inherit the Wind

The revival of Inherit the Wind begins previews today on Broadway with a cast headed by Christopher Plummer.

The play, which first opened in 1955, will show at the Lyceum Theatre with the premiere set for April 12. The show is directed by Doug Hughes, of Doubt fame, and stars Plummer and Brian Dennehy whose recent work includes King Lear and Translations, respectively. Inherit the Wind is about the famous 'Monkey Trial' in 1925 when a teacher was tried and convicted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution.
