Hartford Stage

The stage adaptation of one of the best loved American novels and films, To Kill a Mockingbird is a tender portrait of a southern town, brimming with powerful lessons of tolerance, justice and quiet heroism. Scout and Jem are growing up in the Deep South during the 1930s depression. Their idyllic childhood is jolted with the realization that prejudice and bigotry rule in their small town when their father, a lawyer of principle and integrity, is asked to defend a young black man falsely accused of raping a white woman.

"Someone rare has written this… a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic sense of humor. Touching and funny,
so likeable.” —Truman Capote
