Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning story is brought to life in this stage adaptation by Christopher Sergel.
After four decades in print, countless awards and recognitions and a major motion picture, Latent Muse humbly brings this adaptation to life. During the height of the Great Depression, Maycomb, Alabama is already an old, deep southern town. We are introduced to the town in the middle of a high profile case where mild mannered Tom, a crippled black man, has been unjustly accused of an unspeakable crime punishable in those days by lynching. Atticus Finch, a mild mannered mature father of two, struggles to maintain his commitment to truth while standing up against a tide of prejudice. Atticus defends his client regardless of the opposition and teaches his children to stand up for what is right. In the process, Atticus’ children Scout and Jem learn valuable lessons about white bigotry, black dignity and their father’s courage.
During four decades, the book has sold well over 14 million copies. It has become an American classic. Mockingbird gained even more notice after becoming a movie in 1962, and was turned into a stage play in 1987.
This Latent Muse production features Tim Kitchen as Atticus, Gracie Maddox as Scout, Tom Shirey as Jem, Robert Greene as Tom and Jayme Thomas as Mayella Ewell.
