1   Review by: raphaelv, Jun 30, 2007
An outstanding, gripping and moving production which is as timely today as when it was first produced. Christopher Plummer is phenomenal and I felt gave the finest performance I have seen on by an actor since since Richard Burton in Equus. All of the other cast members are excellent, particularly Dennis O'Hare. The staging is superb, with a magnificent set and appropriate costumes. Sitting in the audience, it seems like you can feel the ... read more

2 Respect shown by both actors is refreshing  Review by: Aleksandra, Jun 21, 2007
The performanances of both main characters was worthy of purchasing a ticket. The energy and the mutually respectful relationship both main actors develop helps to balance the play no matter what side you take on this devisive topic. I say, go see it. It's a classic story and you wont regret it.

3 Think! That is the answer.  Review by: NERP, Jun 3, 2007
Thank God for America! Oops? Can I say "God"? lolo You will get this if you see the play. Christopher Plummer and Brian Dennehy did not disappoint me. Denis O'hare played his part too well. I think he and Maggie over dramatized their parts. The story line is very interesting. I believe the main point is not very clear. But that is OK, you can try to figure it out over dinner afterwards, my husband and I did. Overall, I recommend it to ... read more

4 Superb  Review by: Judith P., Jun 1, 2007
Superb acting, rarely seen on stage lately. Theater at it's best. The never ending struggle between blind (but necessary for some) faith and the logic of reason.
Definitely, go . Don't miss it, and form your own opinion. Eather way, you cannot remain indifferent. Isn't that what real theater should be? Judith P.

Superb. That is the only way to describe the production. Plummer was a phenomenally good Drummond. Only Hornbeck was disappointing

7 Very Good  Review by: , May 17, 2007
I enjoyed this drama, even though you think the subject matter may be dated some of it is very relevant today.

I liked both Brian Dennehy & Christopher Plummer.

8   Review by: Tom B , May 6, 2007
There is a war, an ancient war. It pits reason against faith, tradition against modernity. Its genesis was at dawn of humanity, but it came of age at the battle of Copernicus. But once the defenders of faith were finally forced to let go of their idea of an Earth-centric universe, and face the physical reality of our orbiting a mass of incandescent gas, you'd think people might have become a tad more willing to accept subsequent theories ... read more

9 INHERIT THE WIND  Review by: LimelightMike, May 3, 2007
Inherit the Wind dramatizes the 1925 Scopes "monkey trial" in which a Tennessee science teacher, John Scopes, was tried and convicted for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution, violating a Tennessee law that forbade teaching any theory that conflicted with the Biblical conception of Divine Creation. This revival of Inherit the Wind comes after the original 1955 mounting of the play, a 1960 big-screen adaptation starring Spencer Tracy and ... read more

10 Like Dracula, WIND will not stay dead!  Review by: RALPHIE, Apr 25, 2007
POISON STRIKES AGAIN with another retread of Broadway's classic distortion of history. Likely most people will judge this play based on whether they're pro or anti Darwin; but there's more to it than that. For a better view of the Scopes Trial, I challenge anyone to Google "Scopes Monkey Trial" and spend 120 seconds reading the true history, and putting it in focus with the agenda driven play. The real story is ten times better ... read more
