“Mockingbird” To Sing On Broadway in 2018
(Shh: I know who’s gonna play Atticus, but I can’t tell you yet or I’ll be wearing concrete shoes at the bottom of the Hudson.) A new world-premiere stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird will arrive on Broadway December 13, 2018. The Broadway dates were revealed in a print ad from the September 10 edition of The New York Times. Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, The West Wing) has written the new stage adaptation of Lee’s semi-autobiographical novel about racial injustice in a small Alabama town in the mid 1930s. Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher (Golden Boy, The King and I, South Pacific) will direct the Broadway premiere, which is produced by Scott Rudin.
