The first fact is: Inherit the Wind was never a book in the sense that it was a work of fiction intended to be read. It is a play: intended to be performed. It is a fictionalized account of the Scopes Monkey Trial in Dayton, Tennessee during the 1920s. The name of the place is changed to Hillsborough, and the names of the characters who are based on the real people are changed. This allows for more dramatic license on the part of the playwrights, Lawrence and Lee; though many of the events of the play have a basis in the actual trial, including the defense attorney calling the prosecuting attorney to the stand as a witness.
