To Kill A Mockingbird

Douglas Morrisson Theatre

May 11-May 27, 2007

Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Harper Lee's beloved novel, written in 1960, is not just about life in the deep South. It is about standing in someone's shoes and seeing a whole different world. The play is set in Maycomb, Alabama in 1935. Scout is 10, her life just beginning and filled with the exuberance of youth. Her father Atticus Finch, a lawyer, is defending Tom Robinson, a black man accused of rape. At a critical point of discovery, Scout, along with her brother Jem come to understand that to expose a gentle soul would indeed be To Kill A Mockingbird.

    The performances are strong, especially during the trial scene. Chris Chapman as Atticus carries the show, the highlight being his rendering of the powerful and moving closing argument. The adaptation is skillfully done, preserving the best parts of the book and paring away unimportant details. The production is well presented and captures the feeling of the time and setting. Also some standout performances from the narrator (adult Scout), Calpurnia, and Tom, and Bob Ewell is perfectly creepy. Well worth your time and money! Collapse

    I was able to attend a dress rehearsal of this classic dramatic production. Fine acting from all the players. Sets are simple but compelling, costumes are very period and effective. The trial scene is quite gripping, and you are moved at the end by the terror of the fight, and affection of the characters represented. A must-see for young people who need to read the book for school, and for everyone who needs to be reminded where we've been, and why we must never go back. Collapse
