Bartlett Sher directs Matthew Modine as Atticus Finch in the production which is told through the prism of a young girl’s coming-of-age story that evolves into a dark drama that explores the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice in 1930s America. Harper Lee's groundbreaking novel To Kill A Mockingbird is considered to be one of the most prominent and important pieces of literature of the 20th century and probes how good and evil can coexist within a single individual or community.
Booking & Theatre Info For To Kill A Mockingbird
The Gielgud Theatre is a medium size West End theatre that has three levels of seating with a capacity of 974 seats. The best seats in the theatre are located towards the middle of the Stalls section, just below the overhang from the Dress Circle. Patrons sitting up close to the front of the Stalls may miss some of the action at the rear of the stage, due to the height of the stage so aim to sit in rows N-P for the best overall experience.
The Gielgud Theatre also has three boxes at the rear of the Dress Circle enabling you to watch the production with added privacy, all of which boast a dedicated private entrance and quick access to the toilets and the bar in the interval.
The elevated sections of the theatre offer good value for those on a budget looking for lastminute shows or cheap To Kill A Mockingbird tickets however, due to the shape of the Dress Circle, a number of these seats have a slightly restricted view of the stage, in particular towards the end of rows A and B which face the stage at an angle. There is also good value to be found in the Grand Circle but as always it is recommended to study the seating plan in detail before purchase as there are also some restrictions in this section due to the curve in the seating.
