This drama, based on the acclaimed novel by Harper Lee, is set in Alabama during the 1930’s . The play follows Atticus Finch and his crusade to bring justice to a black man accused of raping a white woman. The ensuing drama brings racial prejudice to the spotlight in the small town. Atticus struggles to explain his defense of the man to his family, especially to his young daughter ‘Scout’ as she and brother Jem, try to understand the problems of injustice which her father is trying to overcome.
