To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee |
Adapted by Christopher Sergel |
Directed by Risa Brainin
Running time: Two hours, 35 minutes. Performed with one 20-minute intermission.
Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a beloved tale that still resonates today. Scout Finch is growing up in Depression-era Alabama, where poverty and prejudice dominate daily life. With the guidance of her wise father, Atticus, the rebellious Scout discovers her own path, learning the power of empathy and the struggle for justice.
Steve's Take
Harper Lee’s passing as well as recent events remind us of the importance of what she wrote in this landmark story.
