57 years ago, one of the greatest novels in American Literature history was published and became an immediate success selling over 50 million copies worldwide and is still a popular story told today. It has been translated into a successful film back in 1962 and now it’s making its way as a new play on the Great White Way…. We are talking about Harper Lee’s legendary novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
Adapted as a play by Award winning screenwriter Aaron Sorokin, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a story of racial injustice and the destruction of childhood innocence. It follows a working lawyer living in the Sothern Depression Era who defends a man of Color against an undeserved rape charge, and his children against prejudice. The story was inspired by Lee’s early childhood.
