The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial Touring in 2009! Read more East Coast Tour: The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial L.A. Theatre Works’ production of The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial, written by Peter Goodchild and directed by Brendon Fox, is based entirely on original transcripts of the famous 1925 Tennessee v. John Scopes “Monkey Trial”, which challenged the newly passed Tennessee legislature’s “Butler Act” banning the teaching of evolution in the State’s public schools. This East Coast Tour, prompted by last year’s successful 23-city national tour, uses the format of live in-performance radio theatre, recreated by a renowned cast of actors, to transport audiences back to Dayton, Tennessee’s sweltering, tension-filled courtroom during the summer of 1925 where they will experience first-hand the dramatic trial as it took place.
