Why see To Kill A Mockingbird?
The Broadway Hit On Tour!
Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin brings his Broadway smash hit out on tour! Opening to much critical acclaim back in 2018, To Kill A Mockingbird tells the story of a black man accused of rape in pre-civil rights era Alabama and the noble lawyer who defends him. Directed by the iconic, and Tony-winning Barlett Sher, witness the tale of an era come to life on stage!
A portrait of simmering racial tension in a small southern town, To Kill a Mockingbird is considered one of the greatest American novels ever written. In today's current climate, its themes of prejudice and inequality seem just as prescient, while the book's steadfast lawyer Atticus Finch remains the gold-standard for noble heroes.
What Is To Kill A Mockingbird About?
Told through the eyes of 13-year-old Scout, Mockingbird is set in the pre-civil rights era Deep South of the 1930s. When local black man Tom Robinson is accused of raping a white girl, Scout's lawyer father Atticus Finch takes on the case, determined to try and give Tom a fair trial. With his decision to defend Tom, Atticus finds himself ostracised from the community, and the lives of his family put into danger. As the trial approaches, Atticus must choose whether to buckle under the mounting pressure or to stand his ground and fight for what is right.

A timely lesson…
I traveled 170 miles to see this and was not disappointed. The scenery is simple but relates to the times and focus of the plays heart and soul, the message and lessons of racism. The direct character to audience narrative is amazing and inclusive. The characters are engrossed with one another, then turn and draws you to the characters in a way not experienced by the standard recital process of a play. It astounds you with hard language, then comforts with easy conversation but all is intertwined with aptly timed raw and poignant humor. It whispers to our vocal innocence and naivety, then yells at our withdrawn arrogance and pride. It’s soul searching and reminds us of issues we are uncomfortable about but allows the audience to reflect on what’s happening on stage. Fabulously entertaining production. ... Read more
