Set in Maycomb, Alabama during the 1930s, Atticus Finch is a small-town lawyer, usually tasked with minor cases. His latest defense case involves Tom Robinson, a Black man who is accused of rape. As the trial progresses, the racial tension between community members reaches boiling point. But, rather than seeing the case through an adult’s eyes, it’s told through Scout’s point of view, Finch’s daughter. Can a community come together to understand the importance of tolerance and empathy?

Harper Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is often considered one of the greatest novels of all time. Now, it’s one of this century’s stand-out plays. All rise for the latest court session to begin.
