Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan were two men who helped shape the thoughts of Americans at the turn of the twentieth century. They had a several-decade’s long friendship until the infamous Scopes Monkey trial made them political and philosophical adversaries. We’ll look at the huge influence, victories, and shortcomings of the orator and lawyer, through one actor who’s bringing both men to life in the Granite State. Laura's guest is Gary Anderson, Actor and Manager of American Legends Theatre Works in California with two one-man shows visiting the Granite State, "Clarence Darrow: The Search for Justice" and "Keeping the Faith: William Jennings Bryan".
