Inherit the Wind, the 50s play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E Lee, is based on the famous 1925 “Monkey Trial” in which a young Tennessee teacher, John Scopes, was arraigned for flouting state law by instructing children in the ideas of Charles Darwin.

Critics have described Kevin Spacey’s performance as Henry Drummond as, “Superb”, whilst David Troughton’s Matthew Harrison Brady matches Spacey’s stage presence.

Most nights have completely sold out, but there are still some tickets available on 2nd, 3rd, 11th, 17th and 18th December to see the performance at the Old Vic in London.
