Based on the classic book by Harper Lee and starring Matt Milburn and Nicola Alexis, To Kill a Mockingbird highlights the issue of racial equality.
However, Harper Lee's literary classic is also a work of considerable warmth and humour.
Set in Alabama during the depression, the story is narrated by a young girl, Scout Finch. With her brother and friend, the children become fascinated by Boo Radley a local man who never leaves his house. He has an evil reputation.
Meanwhile, Scout's father, Atticus Finch agrees to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Atticus wants to reveal the truth that Tom is innocent to his fellow townspeople, expose their bigotry and encourage them to imagine the possibility of racial equality. The trial pits the evidence of the white Ewell family against Tom with dramatic consequences.
Published in 1960, despite the initial doubts of its publisher, To Kill A Mockingbird became an immediate success winning a Pulitzer Prize and going on to become one of the most widely read and loved of all American novels.
Matt Milburn who recently played locum vet Nicky Pritchard in TV's Emmerdale, and Nicola Alexis, well known for her role as PC Ruby Buxton in The Bill, star in this exciting Macho Production, directed by Zach Vanderfelt and designed by Laura O'Connell.
