From the seminal work of Harper Lee, this adaptation for the stage is a powerful drama following the court proceedings of a black man in Maycomb, Alabama, accused of committing a crime against a white woman. The upstanding Atticus Finch has the arduous task of defending this innocent man. Observing from a different perspective, his children, Jem and Scout, feel it their duty to fight for justice alongside their father.
