A new stage production of Harper Lee's classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird will arrive on Broadway December 13, 2018. Playbill reported that Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, The West Wing) has written the new adaptation. Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher (Golden Boy, The King and I, South Pacific) will direct the Broadway premiere, which is produced by Scott Rudin.
Sorkin's work is "unrelated to another version of the play, previously staged in London and at the Guthrie Theatre, which is frequently produced by local and regional theatres across the U.S.," Playbill noted.
