★★★★★ "ALL RISE for this powerfully uplifting theatrical event" Evening Standard
Aaron Sorkin’s riveting, award-winning stage adaptation of the seminal American novel about racial injustice and childhood innocence became a Broadway and West End sensation with star-studded sell-out seasons on both sides of the Atlantic. Now this thrilling courtroom drama embarks on a UK & Ireland tour for the very first time.
Acclaimed stage and screen actor Acclaimed stage and screen actor Richard Coyle (Heads of State, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Fantastic Beasts and Player Kings) returns to this iconic production of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird as Atticus Finch, reprising the role he played to great critical acclaim in the 2022 West End Production. Encouraging kindness and empathy in his children, Atticus is pushed to the limits of these qualities himself when he resolves to uncover the truth in a town that seems determined to hide it.
Set in 1934 Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird was inspired by novelist Harper Lee’s own childhood and has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and was long at the top of the banned book lists.
