To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel is finally coming to Broadway, with an anticipated premier in 2017-18. The book many Shore students read during freshmen year is now taking the stage in an adaption by Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin, a Syracuse graduate, has written for shows such as “The Newsroom” and “The West Wing”; before graduating he claims to have taught himself dramatic story struction from watching the 1962 adaptation of Mockingbird. Producer of the play, Scott Rudin has recently gotten stage adaptation rights. Tony Award winning director of South Pacific, Bartlett Sher, was chosen to direct the show. The show is hoped to be a revival of novel, after being diminished by the recent publication of Go Set A Watchman, a sequel to the original book, about Scout Finch’s life as a 26 year old women. Criticisms of Watchman include the disheartening portrayal of Atticus Finch, the proclaimed circumcenter for morality and voice of reason in Mockingbird. Mr. Rudin says that the Atticus featured in “To Kill a Mockingbird” will be portrayed the same way and will not be influenced by his depiction  the recent publication. The new play production can also display the themes of racial injustice and and the influence of bias and inequality, issues that the country is still dealing with.
