Tum-of-the-century courtroom drama will be recreated on the Gay Street Theatre stage in Washington Sept. 21.

“Clarence Darrow,” a two-hour, one-man drama combining the famous trials and eccentric personal presence of the great attorney as interpreted by Ted Eiland, will be presented by the Rapphannock County Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC).

One-man shows are rare, requiring the combination of a monumental historic figure whose appeal lies not only in his works but in his personality, and a performer with the perception to portray that personality and the ability to interest the audience for two hours without props, without.other actors, without action or scene changes.
