Boo Radley is back — and he’s celebrating his 51st birthday.
It’s been more than a half-century since Harper Lee first published her stunning novel To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960, taking hostage the conscience of an America immersed in racial strife and prejudice. The theatrical version, which was first staged in 1990, is equally classic, maintaining a certain verve and resonance in the current, post-SB1070 world.
Told through a pair of kids living in the Deep South of the 1930s, the story observes the drama and comedy of small town life, and of one man’s attempts to overcome small-minded attitudes about African-Americans.
