About the play:
Harper Lee’s enduring classic To Kill a Mockingbird is adapted anew as Aaron Sorkin, the brilliant and beautifully idealistic creator of The West Wing and A Few Good Men, returns to writing for the stage.
When upstanding lawyer Atticus Finch seeks justice for a wrongfully accused man, he is tested by the limits of his virtue and the uneasy work of forgiveness in a world ruptured in two. Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel has resonated powerfully for over six decades. What does it mean to revisit this beloved classic today with fresh eyes — to consider how far we’ve come, and how far we still need to go?
Artistic Director Loretta Greco creates the first regional production of Sorkin’s soaring adaptation, especially for Boston.

From Playwright Aaron Sorkin:
“When I was asked to write To Kill a Mockingbird as a play, I knew I couldn’t try to do a Harper Lee impersonation and I knew I couldn’t pretend I was writing it in 1959. It would have to be a new play and I’m thrilled that the first post-Broadway production is happening on the stage of The Huntington. I hope Boston audiences enjoy this new look at Harper Lee’s classic story.”
From Artistic Director Loretta Greco:
“I thought I knew To Kill a Mockingbird — its trenchant moral questions, its searing heartbreak, its fierce insistence on empathy at all costs. But in the hands of the rigorously idealistic Aaron Sorkin, this muscular adaptation reveals something new and urgent: excavating fresh pleasures and provocations. I can’t wait to share this production with you — it’s a chance to be reunited with a beloved story as if for the first time, with sharper eyes and all the heart — and hope — we can muster.”
