On August 20, Harlequin Productions opens To Kill a Mockingbird, a play based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Harper Lee, adapted by Christopher Sergel. This celebrated adaptation of Lee’s classic American novel runs through September 12 at the State Theater in downtown Olympia.

Eight-year-old actress Loren Kattenbraker, seen in last season’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, plays the role of Scout Finch. The large ensemble cast also features many recognizable names from previous Harlequin shows, including David Wright (Fighting Over Beverly) as Judge Taylor, Helen Harvester (Time Stands Still) as the alleged victim Mayella Ewell, Robert Humes (Clybourne Park) as the accused Tom Robinson, and Russ Holm (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) as the reprehensible Bob Ewell. Seattle-based actor and Harlequin veteran Aaron Lamb (The 39 Steps) plays Atticus Finch.

RATING:        Harper Lee’s provocative novel includes accurate and frank use of the racially-charged language of the time period. This use of language remains in Sergel’s    adaptation and helps serve the story as a bold and honest depiction of racial injustice in 1930s America.
