Bert Cates is on trial for teaching the theory of evolution. The prosecuting attorney is Matthew Harrison Brady, three-time presidential candidate and leader of the crusade against evolution. His opponent is Henry Drummond, an attorney famous for successfully defending underdogs. Drummond makes the fight not about who is
right and who is wrong, but about the privilege of free thought. Both Brady and Cates have the same right, he says: “The right to be wrong!” </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: #333333"><BR><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Directed by Carol King </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="COLOR: #333333"><BR><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">Starring <SPAN> </SPAN>Chris Foster as Henry Drummond, Barry Corlew as Matthew Harrison Brady, Nate Beynon as Bertram Cates,<SPAN> </SPAN>Katie Weinberg as Rachel Brown, and Kevin McNamara as E.K.
