To Kill A Mockingbird description
Harper Lee's powerfully moving story To Kill A Mockingbird hits the capital.
This is Aaron Sorkin'saward-winning stage adaptation of Lee's extraordinary book To Kill a Mockingbird, back in London for a strictly limited season. Expect a blistering version of the American classic exploring racial injustice against a backdrop of sweet childhood innocence. It has wowed audiences in the West End and on Broadway, and it lands in London to delight audiences once more after a tour of the UK and Ireland.
The book, which was inspired by Lee's real-life childhood, has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide so far. As well as winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, it spent time in the number one spot on the list of banned books in the US.
The year is 1934, the place is Alabama USA, and the star of the story is the lawyer Atticus Finch, who values kindness and empathy and teaches his children to be good citizens. But when a case erupts concerning a young black man and a white girl, and his fellow townspeople seem determined to hide the truth, he is pushed to the limit. By the end, you'll be deeply moved by the story, which remains just as relevant almost a century later.
The brilliant Richard Coyle (Player Kings, Macbeth, Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore) is back in the role of Atticus, a part that attracted considerable praise from the critics in the last West End production during 2022. It's adapted by Aaron Sorkin and Directed by Bartlett Sher. Louisa Muller is the Associate Director. Miriam Buether is the show's Set Designer, Ann Roth is the Costume Designer, and Jennifer Tipton is the Lighting Designer. We have Scott Lehrer the Sound Designer on board, and Adam Guettel wrote the Original Score. The creative team also includes Music Supervisor Kimberley Grigsby and Casting Director Serena Hill CDG. Campbell Young Associates designed the Hair and Wigs, Laurence Belcher is the Resident Director, Tavia Jefferson is the show's Cultural Coordinator, and Ed Pierce is the Design Supervisor.
In London for a strictly limited season, To Kill a Mockingbird tickets deliver a spellbinding portrayal of a principled lawyer defending an innocent man against all the cultural odds. Emotional depth and quiet strength are the name of the game.
