To Kill A Mockingbird in London

To Kill a Mockingbird – A Classic at the Gielgud Theatre

Were you one of the millions of British children who read To Kill A Mockingbird at school, perhaps as one of your O'Level texts? Maybe you've seen the 1963 film starring Gregory Peck, directed by Robert Mulligan with screenplay by Horton Foote? It's a classic of its times and still stands as an unusually brilliant movie, even though it was made in black and white at a time when colour movie technology was readily available. The book is loved by millions, the movie still thrills us when it turns up on TV, now it's time for the stage play... and it's on the way to London for the first time.

To Kill a Mockingbird, transfers from Broadway to the Gielgud theatre for Spring 2020, following a smash hit Broadway run that garnered the show an awe-inspiring nine nominations for Tony awards. Thanks to Aaron Sorkin’s brand new production thousands more of us will be able to experience a plot that has fascinated and delighted readers and audiences for almost a century... so far.

When it was first published Harper Lee’s incredible novel won the Pulitzer Prize. It also proved controversial in an America whose southern states still segregated black from white until fairly recently, remaining shockingly racist for far too long. And it ended up on plenty of banned book lists for many years as a result. In fact this story has a long history of censorship, coming seventh place in the American Library Association’s top ten most challenged and banned books list for 2017, challenged for its honest depictions of the violence, offensive language and racism of the time when it was set.

The plot was inspired by the author's own childhood in Alabama and follows Atticus Finch and his six year old daughter, Scout. Atticus Finch is one of the great heroes of American literature, an impressive symbol of honesty and compassion in a cruel world, in a racist town where the residents seem to reject compassion at every turn.

This isn't the first time the book has been adapted. There have been multiple stage adaptations as well as the Academy Award-winning film and the one by Christopher Sergel, which played the UK from 2006 on and off until 2014. But this new version sees things in a fresh light. Atticus is no longer the shining beacon of goodness we all know and love, and we'll leave it at that so we don't spoil it for you!

No wonder this play has gathered nine Tony nominations, winning one for Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play, and has also won a Drama Desk Award plus an Outer Critics Circle Award. It's totally amazing. The cast? To Kill a Mockingbird London stars Rhys Ifans for definite, the rest will be announced nearer the time.

Who is this show for? When a previous version played at The Barbican in 2015 there was an age limit of 7 or more, which seems sensible bearing in mind the story and the context.

Well Done!

The show was great, great acting, great rhythm to it, the story is compelling and still relevant to our days. Even funny at times! The only issue is that there's a mix between a Southern accent and a British accent and it's a little hard to understand at times.

Full of students who arrived very late

We could not hear it adequately in the Grand Circle. We lost the plot in the final act since we just couldn't hear certain characters. Think we will need to buy the book to fully appreciate the themes and ultimate thoughts about the play. This is very disappointing. I paid over 70 pounds for 2 tickets.

Great story but spoilt by poor diction

I have not read the book or seen the Gregory Peck movie but it is a great story and script. It particularly delivers in the second half. For me, I had great difficulty in understanding many of the actors, particularly the children. I could follow the main threads but amongst others, could not understand the subplot about falling on a knife, who Billy? was or who the character at the end was who was standing under a streetlight. Whether the acoustic in the Grand Circle had something to do with it, I am not sure. I could hear Matthew Modine and the actors playing the prosecutor and Linus Deas very clearly.

We go to theater twice a year and never been disappointed with the show. Unfortunately To kill a Mockingbird didn't impress us at all. Acting was good, the story is good but probably for a film, not a stage performance. Was boring hence feel it's been overpriced too.

Play was too busy with unnecessary stage changes. Dialect was uneven and not accurate. Scout was too old for the role and her movements were awkward and not young child-like and her solos were too didactic.

Ruining a classic

Aaron Sorkin took it upon himself to try to rewrite a classic that was near perfection on its own. The dribble that Sorkin added sadly added nothing to the story, but rather took away. The acting was superb for what they had to work with.

Wonderful acting but Sorkin is a little too preachy

The acting, set design and costumes were outstanding. I loved the self-referential narrative by the three kids who were wonderfully engaging. I didn't enjoy Aaron Sorkin’s revisions of the script that hit the audience over the head with the moral. The novel does it so much better. Calpurnia’s criticisms of Atticus were incredibly jarring as was Bob Ewell’s intellectual comments about race and America generally. You can't put 2022 sensibility into 1930s characters’ mouths.

Beautiful enhancement of the original book

I saw this play last night. I appreciated the multifaceted black characters (they were more active than in Harper Lee’s book, as I remember it) and the total relevance to today’s race relations and gender expectations. Very moving, as I’d expect from Aaron Sorkin, because it’s so well-acted and it’s creatively done — but not so creative that the time it’s set in can be forgotten.

The play was close to the original story of 'To Kill A Mocking Bird', yet a story for our time. The dramatic licence taken with the production made it very watchable for those who hadn't read the original text. The humour was an added dimension. The acting right across the board was superb.

All About TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

by Phil Willmott | Monday, February 22 2021, 21:02

To Kill a Mockingbird This is dramatization of one of the most powerful and widely read novels of the 20th Century. As a snap shot of racial tension in 1930's Alabama it's still widely taught as an introduction to the inequality and injustice Americans of colour still face today. It's also a storming court room drama, inhabited by vivid characters that will have you on the edge of your seat with suspense if you don't already know the outcome.
