The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial - by Peter Goodchild, directed by Gordon Hunt - L.A. Theatre Works (January-March 2006)

The Scopes Trial, over the right to teach evolution in public schools, reaffirmed the importance of intellectual freedom as codified in the Bill of Rights. The trial, in a small-town Tennessee courtroom in 1925, set the stage for ongoing national debates over the separation of Church and State in a democratic society, debates that continue to this day.
