To Kill a Mockingbird presented by City of Rockville at F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre

Although excitement and controversy surround the upcoming release of Harper Lee's new book -- recently discovered after six decades -- one thing is certain: It will never replace To Kill a Mockingbird. For few perspectives on American society have been as insightful or as poignant as that of young Scout Finch, the heroine of Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel (Winesburg, Ohio), this moving play follows Scout's journey as her father Atticus defends a black man framed for a crime he did not commit. As the trial progresses, Scout and her brother Jem see their community divided over issues of justice and racism. Now Rockville Little Theatre presents this stirring portrayal of both racial and family relations at the F. Scott Fitzgerald.
