The plot of the To Kill A Mockingbird play is set in a small-town in 1930's Alabama and follows lawyer Atticus Finch and his family as he is tasked with defending the wrongfully accused negro Tom Robinson. Based on the classic novel by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird explores racial tensions and the justice system of the time through the eyes of Finch's daughter Scout.

To Kill a Mockingbird is directed by Bartlett Sher and features sound design by Scott Lehrer, costume design by Ann Roth, set design by Miriam Buether, and lighting design by Jennifer Tipton.
Performances of the To Kill a Mockingbird play are currently at the Gielgud Theatre. The venue has three levels with premium seating being situated in the centre of the Stalls section and at the front of the Dress Circle. There are several different price bands within the theatre and studying the seating plan to find the cut off points to these price bands can be beneficial to the price you pay for your tickets. There is also some value to be had in the clear view seats in the Grand Circle however this section is on the second floor and quite high up which may not be to everyone's liking but could suit customers looking for cheap tickets for To Kill A Mockingbird. Due to the star performers appearing in the cast of To Kill A Mockingbird it is unlikely that official discounts will be available for this production for the forseeable future however, bargain hunters looking to secure lastminute theatre tickets can look at midweek performances and matinees (which may feature understudy actors) to keep the prices down. Prices can also come down during quiet periods in the weeks following school holidays at other off peak times so please check our website regularly to monitor price fluctuations.
