To Kill a Mockingbird in London

Aaron Sorkin’s acclaimed stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird returns to London’s West End for a strictly limited season at Wyndham’s Theatre.

A powerful story that still resonates today, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is adapted by Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin and directed by Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher. It tells the story of racial injustice and moral courage in 1930s Alabama, seen through the eyes of young Scout Finch.

This landmark production combines gripping drama with emotional depth, in a staging that feels both classic and urgent — making it one of the most celebrated plays of the decade.

To Kill a Mockingbird plays a strictly limited season at the Wyndham’s Theatre from 25 June to 12 September 2026.

Richard Coyle Returns as Atticus Finch

Acclaimed stage and screen actor Richard Coyle (Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore) reprises his celebrated performance as Atticus Finch in this gripping courtroom drama.

Coyle took over the role from Rafe Spall in the original West End run. He returns to the role in the West End after taking the acclaimed production on a tour across the UK.

His portrayal of the principled lawyer defending Tom Robinson has been widely praised.

Set in 1930’s Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird is a tale of racial injustice enveloping a small town community. When a Black man is accused of a disturbing crime, lawyer Atticus Finch agrees to defend him. With courage and compassion, Finch seeks the truth and his daughter, Scout – a young girl on the cusp of adulthood – brings new hope to a neighbourhood in turmoil.

The ensuing trial exposes the deep racism and injustice embedded in the town’s legal system and social order, challenging both Scout and Atticus on their view of the community they call home.
