To Kill A Mocking Bird, the play of Harper Lee’s famous story of racial tension in America’s deep south makes a gripping drama. It presents its story through the eyes of children in a captivating way. Atticus Finch, a widowed father, defends an innocent African charged with raping a young white girl. In his struggle for justice in a small racist community he risks the admiration of his peers, his neighbours and the safety of his children – but demonstrates the courage needed to stand up against the odds in a corrupt society. This is a family production for all to enjoy with its enlightened message about racial prejudice, violence, moral tolerance and dignified courage. 

This is the fourth of the Tricycle’s much-acclaimed productions cast entirely from lawyers and judges.
