Inherit the Wind," the delightfully preachy 1955 play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee based on the famed 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, contains what may be the swiftest and most comical takedown of anti-intellectualism ever brought to the stage.
An ambitious co-production of the show by the Subversive Theatre Collective and the New Phoenix Theatre, directed by Subversive's Kurt Schneiderman, opened in the New Phoenix on Thursday night.
