To Kill a Mockingbird

Tue 28 Oct - Sat 1 Nov 2025

Synopsis

★★★★★ ‘ALL RISE for this powerfully uplifting theatrical event’ Evening Standard

Aaron Sorkin’s riveting, award-winning stage adaptation of the seminal American novel about racial injustice and childhood innocence became a Broadway and West End sensation with star-studded sell-out seasons on both sides of the Atlantic. Now this thrilling courtroom drama comes to Curve.

Acclaimed stage and screen actor Richard Coyle (HEADS OF STATE, CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA, FANTASTIC BEASTS and PLAYER KINGS) returns to this iconic production of Harper Lee’s TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD as Atticus Finch, reprising the role he played to great critical acclaim in the 2022 West End Production. Encouraging kindness and empathy in his children, Atticus is pushed to the limits of these qualities himself when he resolves to uncover the truth in a town that seems determined to hide it.

Set in 1934 Alabama, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was inspired by novelist Harper Lee’s own childhood and has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and was long at the top of the banned book lists.

★★★★★ ‘Mockingbird soars anew in Sorkin’s blistering adaptation. SPELLBINDING’ Daily Mail

Oscar winning writer Aaron Sorkin‘s stage adaptation of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is paired with Bartlett Sher’s visionary direction. Aaron Sorkin has had many years of great success on stage and screen. He is perhaps best known as the creator and screenwriter of hit TV series The West Wing, and as the screenwriter for The Social Network, for which he received an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Writer’s Guild Award. He is also the writer-creator of The Newsroom and Academy Award-winning film A Few Good Men. Bartlett Sher spent over ten years as Director of New York’s Lincoln Centre Theater, and has also headed acclaimed productions such as MY FAIR LADY, THE KING AND I and SOUTH PACIFIC.
