Monologue on Line

 Following up on my post of the speech from Hamlet last week, here's another theater piece I did for an on-line gathering. I actually did this one live for the occasion, but I recorded a practice session, so that's what you'll see here.

This is from Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, a dramatization of the famed "Scopes Monkey Trial". In this scene, defense attorney Henry Drummond (based on Clarence Darrow), explains the relationship between progress and faith to the jury.
