TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRDHARPER Opens at The Genesian Theatre

The Genesian Theatre Company is proud to present a moving new production of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning classic TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, opening this weekend at their Rozelle theatre.

Set in 1930s Alabama, the story follows young Scout Finch as her father, the honourable lawyer Atticus Finch, defends a Black man falsely accused of a terrible crime. As tensions rise in the seemingly peaceful town of Maycomb, Scout’s journey becomes a powerful exploration of prejudice, compassion and moral courage.

 

 

Through Scout’s eyes, Harper Lee’s iconic story comes vividly to life on stage — a powerful and enduring tale of justice, compassion and moral courage. Its themes continue to resonate strongly with modern audiences.

Director Theo Hatzistergos :

The play remains deeply relevant because of its themes of empathy, truth and standing up for what is right, even when it comes at personal cost.

At its heart, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is about seeing the humanity in others. It’s a story that continues to speak powerfully to audiences.

Featuring a talented cast and creative team, this new Genesian Theatre Company production brings warmth and emotional depth to one of literature’s most celebrated works, delivering a moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience for today’s audiences.

TO KILL A MTO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is playing from Saturday, (preview Friday, 29 May).
