Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel
Based on the novel by Harper Lee
Mockingbirds just make music; they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out. That’s why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird
Set in the Deep South, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel sees racial injustice envelop a small-town community. Through courage and compassion, lawyer Atticus Finch seeks the truth, and his daughter, Scout - a young girl on the cusp of adulthood - brings new hope to a neighbourhood in turmoil.

"If any performances of this heart-shakingly sincere production are rained off, it will be bitterly undeserved. Not one precious night must be lost"

DAILY EXPRESS
"A MAGNIFICENT Mockingbird"
INDEPENDENT
"Sheader and his team are now finding a Shakespearean dimension, and reverberation, in modern classics"
