O’Hagan.

Set in 1934 Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird was inspired by novelist Harper Lee’s own childhood and has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and was long at the top of the banned book lists.
Oscar winning writer Aaron Sorkin‘s stage adaptation of To Kill A Mockingbird is paired with Bartlett Sher’s visionary direction.
Aaron Sorkin has had many years of great success on stage and screen. He is perhaps best known as the creator and screenwriter of hit TV series The West Wing, and as the screenwriter for The Social Network, for which he received an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Writer’s Guild Award. He is also the writer-creator of The Newsroom and the author of the Academy Award-winning film A Few Good Men.
Bartlett Sher spent over ten years as Director of New York’s Lincoln Center Theater and has also headed acclaimed productions such as My Fair Lady, The King and I and South Pacific.
