Get ready, theatre lovers! The critically acclaimed stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird is heading to Salford as part of its first-ever UK and Ireland tour. Adapted by Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin, this smash-hit Broadway and West End production will take over The Lowry from Tuesday 13th to Saturday 24th January 2026—and trust us, this is one courtroom drama you won’t want to miss.
A Story That Still Resonates
Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird has captivated readers for generations, tackling themes of racial injustice, morality, and childhood innocence. The novel, which has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1960. The stage adaptation follows Atticus Finch, a lawyer determined to fight for justice in a town unwilling to listen, and his children, Scout and Jem, who learn hard truths about the world around them.
From Broadway to the UK Stage
Since its debut, Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation has taken both Broadway and the West End by storm, with sold-out seasons and standing ovations night after night. Now, for the first time, audiences across the UK will have the chance to experience Bartlett Sher’s visionary direction in this thrilling production.
Sorkin, known for creating The West Wing and penning screenplays for The Social Network and A Few Good Men, brings his signature sharp dialogue and gripping storytelling to this theatrical masterpiece. Meanwhile, Sher—acclaimed for his work on My Fair Lady, The King and I, and South Pacific—ensures a visually stunning and emotionally charged experience.
When and Where to Get Tickets
Tickets for To Kill a Mockingbird at The Lowry go on sale to Lowry Members on Thursday 30th January 2025, with general sale opening on Friday 31st January 2025. Given the show’s previous sell-out success, early booking is highly recommended!
While casting for the UK and Ireland tour has yet to be announced, one thing is certain—this production is set to be an unmissable theatrical event.
