11 – 22 November 2025
Directed by Bartlett Sher, the first ever UK & Ireland tour of Aaron Sorkin’s riveting stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird will visit the Theatre Royal Bath from Tuesday 11 to Saturday 22 November. The production stars acclaimed stage and screen actor Richard Coyle (The Player Kings, Macbeth, Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore) who returns to this iconic production as Atticus Finch, reprising the role he played to great critical acclaim in the 2022 West End Production.
Set in 1934 Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird is the seminal American novel about racial injustice and childhood innocence that became a Broadway and West End sensation with sell-out seasons on both sides of the Atlantic. Inspired by novelist Harper Lee’s own childhood, the book has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and was long at the top of the banned book lists.
This critically acclaimed Broadway and West End production is adapted for the stage by Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin whose writing is paired with Tony Award-winner Bartlett Sher’s visionary direction. Aaron Sorkin has had many years of great success on stage and screen. He is perhaps best known as the creator and screenwriter of hit TV series The West Wing, and as the screenwriter for The Social Network, for which he received an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Writer’s Guild Award. He is also the writer-creator of The Newsroom and the author of the Academy Award-winning film A Few Good Men. Bartlett Sher spent over ten years as Director of New York’s Lincoln Center Theater and has also headed acclaimed productions such as My Fair Lady, The King and I and South Pacific.
Richard Coyle will be joined by Anna Munden as Scout Finch, Gabriel Scott as Jem Finch, Dylan Malyn as Dill Harris, Andrea Davy as Calpurnia, Stephen Boxer as Judge Taylor, Aaron Shosanya as Tom Robinson, Oscar Pearce as Bob Ewell, Evie Hargreaves as Mayella Ewell, Richard Dempsey as Horace Gilmer, Sarah Finigan as Mrs. Dubose, Phillipa Flynn as Miss Stephanie / Dill’s Mother, Harry Attwell as Mr. Cunningham / Boo (Arthur) Radley, Colin R Campbell as Sheriff Heck Tate and Simon Hepworth as Link Deas, with Paul Albertson, James Mitchell, Jonathan Rubin, Cheryl Burniston, Charlotte Luxford, Oyin Orija, Tiwai Muza, Tom Brace-Jenkins, and John J. O’Hagan.
