Morvarid Publications published “Inheritance of the Wind”

The play “Inheritance of the Wind” by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee, translated by Nourollah Ghodrati, has been published by Morvarid Publications.

This play, which first went on stage in 1955, is a fictionalized account of the “Scopes Monkey Trial” that took place in 1925, in which a high school teacher named John T. Scopes was accused of teaching Darwinian evolution, an act that was illegal under Tennessee’s Butler Act.

This play is considered one of the most important dramatic works of the 20th century and continues to be performed.

Written in three acts, the play has been adapted for film and television multiple times. The first and most famous adaptation is a film directed by Stanley Kramer, made in 1960.

“Inheritance of the Wind” has been published by Morvarid Publications in 164 pages, with a print run of 300 copies, and priced at 168,000 Tomans.
