POWERFUL

Compelling dialouge and acting, clever and almost sequenced dance like set changes. Emotionally lingers - very powerful

5.0 star rating Maggie Dixie from London,England

SUBLIME

This is an amazing stage adaptation of an exceptional book/film. The casting is impeccable and the scene changes are seamless. My daughter and I were spellbound throughout the performance - completely immersed in the moment. The intensity of the story is tempered sympathetically with moments of relevant humour. I have no idea why previous reviewers found fault in the actors accents or the absence of actual jurors in the court scenes. Neither detracted from the essence of this wonderful play. A fantastic night out for adults and older children (12 years and older perhaps?) A truly deserved standing ovation from the audience at the end.

LEFT ME SPEECHLESS

I have never felt so moved by a play before. The acting was outstanding, the set very clever and the atmosphere created throughout was as close to the book as a play could get. My husband and I laughed, cried and were deeply moved throughout. The only very slight criticism was the characterisation of Gem as he was a little too like forest gump which was annoying at times but he still played the character very well. Would highly recommend.

A MUST SEE...

I have been waiting since pre-Covid to see this play & wasn't disappointed. The acting was superb. Never have I seen an audience so captivated with a play, not a whisper or rustle of food wrapping was heard. Contrary to other comments the accents didn't annoy me. Rafe Spall's portrayal of Atticus Finch was done well. My husband didn't know the story but now wants to read the book. I never went to the theatre expecting to see a full rendition of the book, I never thought the film did it justice, so how could a play? For those critics that expecting an exact reenactment of the characters in the book, I can only assume are naiave. It moved me to tears and portrayed the racism of the day and serves as a reminder that there is still much prejudice today.

LOVED TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

True to the spirit of a novel I love so much I read every summer. Brimming with compassion .

5.0 star rating Natalie from London, England

FAITHFULLY UPDATED VERSION

Aaron Sorkin is a genius. I’m not sentimental, but this version of TKaM had me quite sniffly by the end. A superb production, which referenced the rise in the US of the far-right, anti-semitism, racism while also, in the character of Atticus the kind of liberal guilt which seeks to do right, while not always getting it right. This was absolutely the best kind of theatre, riveting. Brilliant performances. I loved it.
