To Kill a Mockingbird is an American tragedy. It's only here for one week, so get your ticket here and then head to downtown Minneapolis to see this necessary and relevant play. There are moments of lightness and humor, wonderful theatricality, and deeply and darkly resonant themes.
But this is no dry depressing history lesson, it's captivating storytelling that brings new life to this familiar and beloved story. America needs to see it and remember our history, in order to understand our present. It was a profound experience (especially the second time, coming out of a global pandemic and a national racial reckoning), and I'm so glad this play is finally going on tour. I was fortunate enough to see Aaron Sorkin's new adaptation of Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird twice on Broadway, with its original Atticus Finch, Jeff Daniels.
