To Kill A Mockingbird Tickets

The timely return of To Kill A Mockingbird with Richard Coyle reprising his role in the Tony Award-winning stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s novel, couldn’t have come sooner. This deep-dive review of the show contains spoilers. Set against the backdrop of 1930s Alabama, during the Great Depression, it is hard to ignore the parallels and patterns that repeat itself throughout history. Though the language is outdated and thankfully less often used, the acts of prejudice remain the same.  The story is told through the eyes of lawyer Atticus Finch’s children - Scout Finch (played by Anna Munden), Jem Finch (Gabriel Scott) and their new neighbour and friend, Dill Harris (Dylan Malyn). They reflect upon their father’s perseverance on a case to prove Tom Robinson’s innocence (played by Aaron Shosanya), a black man accused of sexually assaulting a white teenage girl. Though the town is set in their ways, and blinded by their own prejudice, Atticus lays out the facts of the case and brings light to the blatant web of lies fabricated by Bob Ewell (played by Oscar Pearce) and the supposed victim, Mayella Ewell (Evie Hargreaves). The narration of the case told through the innocent eyes of the children makes justice appear so simple, right versus wrong should be simple.

Returning to the West End, where it was seen in 2022, comes To Kill a Mockingbird (Wyndhams), Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s famed story of racial injustice and white supremacy in small-town Alabama in 1934. The smartness of this evening is the way it pays homage to Lee’s original child’s-eye view of the story but also foregrounds the complexities of white lawyer Atticus Finch (played here by Richard Coyle), who defends the black man accused of rape. Here he is no heroic figure but far more multifaceted and in thrall to his own white saviour attitudes.  Years ago, the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre produced A Midsummer Night’s Dream every season. Generations of school kids saw their first Shakespeare productions at the venue. But giving titles a rest makes way for new things, and so it proved under artistic director Timothy Sheader, who made such a good job of his tenure that he got the plum Donmar job. Now new artistic director Drew McOnie revives the Dream tradition but with a twist. Atri Banerjee’s revival, which comes with a folk-inspired score by Maimuna Memon. Whatever happens, as dusk falls, this venue offers a setting which is as magical as theatre gets.
