"Inherit The Wind" Made Timely

KenderTheater (‪@KenderTheater‬)

I must confess that before seeing the Dallas Theater Center's current revival of "Inherit The Wind," I feared that this play would feel dated and stodgy., which is the opposite of my preferred theater tastes.  Indeed, I   skipped the last Broadway revival of this play for that very reason.  But  fortunately Director Kevin Moriarty's inventive non-traditional casting & staging make this production feel compelling,  timely and relevant.  Kudos to Liz Mikel & Kieran Connelly who both shine in lead roles portraying, respectively, the Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryant inspired characters.
