Playing at Desert Theatreworks April 4-28
Mockingbird opens in a sleepy Alabama town amid the Great Depression, where Scout and her brother, Jem, live with their widowed father, Atticus Finch. Reminiscent of a bygone era, the play immerses us in a simpler time when children played outside all summer long and nobody locked their doors at night. The facade of the seemingly peaceful town begins to crack when a young black man is accused of a terrible crime.
Driven by an unshakeable moral conviction, local lawyer Atticus Finch defends the man in a trial that sends mixed emotions throughout the community. Timeless and lingering, this hard-hitting work explores prejudice, compassion, and the courage to do what is right.
