TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
is a heart warming and touching play that provides an insightful
overview of the social climate prevailing in the South during
the 1930's
It is a profound, compassionate play centering on the theme
of prejudice. Yet it's the simple story of the insights of a
little girl growing up in a Southern town. Alabama
author Harper Lee was unprecedented in writing her story from
a point of view of an innocent little girl.
The
play raises many thought-provoking questions about prejudice
and human behavior, good and evil, and what one good person
can do to change the world.
The
book won a Pulitzer Prize in 1961. In 1962 it was made into
an Academy Award winning film starring Gregory Peck in his defining
role as the just and wise small-town lawyer and father.
Set
in 1930's Alabama, the tale is interwoven around his children
and their active imaginations.
