DIRECT FROM A SELL-OUT WEST END RUN
Based on the novel by HARPER LEE
MON 3 – SAT 8 NOVEMBER Set in the Deep South, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel sees racial injustice envelop a small-town community. Through courage and compassion, lawyer Atticus Finch seeks the truth, and his feisty daughter, Scout – a young girl on the cusp of adulthood – brings new hope to a neighbourhood in turmoil. This utterly enchanting and enthralling production from London’s award-winning Regent’s Park Theatre captures the warmth and poignancy of this best-loved classic with genuine heart and emotional depth. A story as moving and magical as you could ever hope to find.

THE SOUTH
Special Guest Tristan Mackay When great British pop institution, The Beautiful South split in 2007, several members of the band weren’t ready to let it go.

With the realisation that if the fans didn’t want it, they wouldn’t do it, The South embarked on their journey. But boy, did the fans want it! Those classic songs live on. A Little Time, Perfect 10, Rotterdam, Old Red Eyes, Good as Gold and Don’t Marry Her will all be performed again live, as they have been since 1989!
