TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD runs Sept. 7-30

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Sept. 7-30
Downtown

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

Directed by Sara Clark

Featuring: Bruce Cromer, Darnell Benjamin, Ken Early & Torie Wiggins

In 1932 Alabama, Atticus Finch challenges the conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy. This story is a powerful portrait of a south poisoned by prejudice and the one man with the courage to fight against an injustice, but like the novel from which it comes, is filled with warmth and humor. Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird, in an adaptation that has brought audiences to their feet on two continents, brings this story to life in a fresh and inspirational staging that you will never forget.
