BBC R4 - Peter Goodchild's 'The Great Monkey Trial' [19

BBC R4 - Peter Goodchild's 'The Great Monkey Trial' Directed by John Theocaris Produced by Susan Lowanberg & Martin Jenkins Broadcast March 8, 1992 Recently recoded from tape at 128/44.1 NB This is the original two hour play that last November's enfeebled 55 minute broadcast was made from. Reconstruction of key parts of the Scopes' 'Great Monkey Trial' drawn from original sources and the trial's transcripts. The trial, Scopes v. State, 152 Tenn. 424, 278 S.W. 57 (Tenn. 1925), arose from a prosecution under Tennessee's 1925 'Butler Act' which prohibited state funded schools from teaching " ... any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals." Fully engaging, and at times very funny. Odd, though, to hear Ed Asner putting the conservatives' position.
