Don't see it if You can't handle the race relations issue that were as prevalent then as they are today.

Also The whole cast is pretty stellar, but Gideon Glick's performance as Dill really needs to be mentioned as a standout. Yes, he has the most endearing lines, but he grounds Dill's scenes in the comparative hurt he has and will feel. Honestly, I thought I'd hate adults playing kids, but it worked perfectly from the perspective of
a memory play. Celia Bolger is heartfelt and glowing in her portrayal of Scout, and Will Pullen represents the angst of a boy surpassing adolescence.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to see masterful acting. This play was close to perfect. The only play I rated higher was “The Curious Incident of the Dog ...”

Don't see it if You are expecting a staged version of the movie.

Also The children are played by adults, but they were totally believable. I was spellbound the entire time. My only problem was some confusion between the present time and flashbacks.... Read more Read less

See it if you just want to see great theatre. The ambitious reframing of the narrative, the inventive, minimalist set - all effective and exceptional.

Don't see it if you are a purist or elitist about the book or movie. The piece is deliberately restructured to tease out parallels to today.

Also this production reminded me in myriad ways the power of theatre as a form. All the pieces - writing, direction, design, technical execution, performance - come together to create an amazing show. I will absolutely go see it again after opening.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see engrossing drama.

Don't see it if you can't sit for 2 3/4 hrs. The complaint that Scout was performed by an adult is without merit. The role is too demanding for a child.
