To Kill A Mockingbird

About To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird is Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, set in 1934 Alabama. The story follows successful lawyer Atticus Finch as he encourages kindness and empathy in his children while seeking the truth in a town determined to hide it.

The production returns to the West End for a strictly limited season this summer, following successful Broadway and West End runs and a sell-out national tour across the UK and Ireland.

Harper Lee's novel was inspired by her own childhood, won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. It was also long at the top of the banned book lists.

Running time: Approximately 2 hours 50 minutes including an interval.
