Item Description
Michael Constantine (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) understudied Paul Muni in the role of Henry Drummond in the pre-Broadway and Broadway production of "Inherit the Wind." This is his original script, with typed and hand-written notes.
Heading the star-studded Broadway cast was Paul Muni as Henry Drummond (the Clarence Darrow representation). Muni was a veteran stage and film actor, who came out of a six-year retirement to take on the role.
Joining Muni at center stage was Ed Begley, a well-known character actor, playing Matthew Harrison Brady, and a young Tony Randall as E.K. Hornbeck, the Baltimore newspaper reporter.
The skillful direction of Shumlin was a strong selling point, as was Muni's reported brilliant performance. But, for both, the cast and crew and director, it was the strength of the script and the power of the dialogue which brought them to "Inherit."
"Inherit the Wind" opened on Broadway at the National Theatre on April 21, 1955.
