These points are brought out in both shows.
Darrow speaks frequently of his old friend Bryan, in respectful and compassionate tones.
Bryan speaks with respect and admiration about his friend Darrow.

"Seeing both men and their similarities and differences was enlightening and fun. It's amazing
how many of the issues they stood for are still affecting us a century later."   ... Trinity Journal, CA

Audiences who have come to label Bryan only as a Fundamentalist spokesman, will
rediscover a unique political leader, reformer, a man of great integrity and principal and also
one of the most insightful and liberal Democrats our country has ever seen -- before or since.
Bryan was a seminal figure and a hero to both liberals and evangelicals alike.

Those seeing Darrow will discover the man behind the legend, not always the hero and
not always at his best, with serious legal problems of his own that scarred and haunted him forever.

During the Scopes Trial, no one could have foreseen, and what the world has witnessed,
was that the final words they spoke to each other would be in cold fury and denunciation;
leaving them breathless and red-faced as the last fragile remnants of their thirty-year friendship
was destroyed and sacrificed in the causes they represented.

"I was truly impressed by the high qualify of the performances and the relationships between
the two. It exceeded my expectations."   ... Jean Bergeson of the law firm of Erb & Suenram, MT
Two one-man shows, either presented together on the same day or on subsequent days, about the lives
of America's greatest attorney as well as the Christian Fundamentalist who was almost President.
Why are these two shows on Darrow and Bryan being presented as companion pieces?
An exploration of these men's lives, their 30-year friendship, their common causes
and their massive egos makes for great theatre and great humanity.
Let's examine what these legendary orators have in common.
They both ...
... were friends for over thirty years.
... believed that a man's life is measured by not just how much you
  say you love your fellow man, but through your actions.
... were attorneys that studied under the same mentor.
... were militant pacifists.
... fought against the death penalty.
... were supporters for womens' right to vote.
... campaigned to elect Bryan as President.
... tried to destroy each other in the infamous Scopes "Monkey" Trial.
