To Kill a Mockingbird

Experience the powerful stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic American novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, as the award-winning play returns to the West End for a limited run at Wyndham’s Theatre this summer.

Following smash-hit runs on Broadway and in the West End, Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is touring the UK and Ireland for the first time, before returning to London.

What is To Kill a Mockingbird about?

Set in a small town in 1934 Alabama, against a backdrop of racism and prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird depicts the childhood of Scout and Jem Finch, whose lawyer father Atticus defends Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of rape.

As Tom’s trial reaches a conclusion, can Scout and Jem help, and does their reclusive neighbour have a part to play?

Adapted by Academy Award-winner Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, Moneyball) and directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher (My Fair Lady, Kiss Me Kate), the play is based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Harper Lee.

This era-defining story tackles social issues which have helped to inspire conversation and change.
