What Is the Play To Kill A Mockingbird About?

Alabama, 1934, and successful lawyer Atticus Finch is a pillar of his community, determined to encourage empathy and kindness in his children, Scout and Jem. But when Finch finds himself at the centre of a shocking court case, in which a Black man may have been falsely accused, he is pushed to the very limits of his own capacity for understanding. Can Finch uncover the truth, when the people of the town seem determined to obscure it?

The History of To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill a Mockingbird is based on the novel by Harper Lee, which was inspired by experiences from the author’s own childhood. The book was first published in 1960, to immediate acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize a year later. Widely considered to be one of the Greatest American Novels, the book is not without controversy, with the novel topping lists of banned books due to its themes of racial injustice and the use of racial slurs within the text.

Sorkin’s adaptation was written in 2018, following a previous stage adaptation by Christopher Sergel written in 1990, and reframes the story to make Finch the central character - as both the previous production and the novel are narrated from Scout, Finch’s six-year-old daughter’s point of view. Sorkin’s adaptation debuted on Broadway in 2018, earning nine Tony nominations and winning one, and was followed by a West End production in 2022, which was nominated for five Olivier awards. The play embarks on a huge UK and Ireland tour in 2026, before returning to the West End for a strictly limited run.
