The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre production of To Kill a Mockingbird will transfer to the Barbican next summer.

Starring Robert Sean Leonard, reprising his role as Atticus Finch, the production will run at the Barbican from 24 June to 25 July 2015 following its forthcoming UK tour.

Tickets will go on sale to the public on 2 September at 10am.

Directed by Timothy Sheader, To Kill a Mockingbird originally opened in Regent's Park last year to critical acclaim, and marked House star Leonard's first return to the UK stage in 22 years.

The production returns to the Open Air Theatre tonight (28 August 2014) for a two-week run prior to its UK tour. It currently stars Daniel Betts as Atticus Finch alongside Zackary Momoh as Tom Robinson and Christopher Akrill as Boo Radley.

To Kill a Mockingbird is produced by Regent's Park Theatre Ltd, Fiery Angel, Adam Spiegel and William Village.
