To Kill a Mockingbird will be returning to the West End, and complete casting has been revealed.

Directed by Bartlett Sher (The King and I), Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of Harper Lee’s seminal text was seen in the West End in 2022, going on to run until the summer of 2023. It then kicked off a tour in Leeds in September.

It was nominated for nine Tony Awards when it was first seen on Broadway, winning one.

Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, published in 1960, explores racial injustice in America and features one of the most iconic characters in literary history – small-town lawyer Atticus Finch.

A new West End season will now run from 25 June to 12 September at Wyndham’s Theatre on Charing Cross Road.

The ongoing tour, led by Richard Coyle as Atticus Finch, is currently in Norwich, and will visit Empire Theatre, Liverpool (12 to 16 May 2026), and Milton Keynes Theatre (19 to 23 May 2026).

Coyle will return to the show for its London run, joined by David Kennedy, Charlotte Luxford, Dylan Malyn, Anna Munden, Tiwai Muza, John J O’Hagan, Oscar Pearce, Jonathan Rubin, Gabriel Scott, Aaron Shosanya, Carole Stennett, Paul Albertson, Harry Attwell, Stephen Boxer, Tom Brace-Jenkins, Cheryl Burniston, Colin R Campbell, Andrea Davy, Richard Dempsey, Sarah Finigan, Phillipa Flynn and Evie Hargreaves.

The creative team for To Kill a Mockingbird is completed by Louisa Muller (associate director), Miriam Buether (set designer), Ed Pierce (design supervisor), Ann Roth (costume designer), Jennifer Tipton (lighting designer), Scott Lehrer (sound designer), Adam Guettel (original score), Kimberley Grigsby (musical supervisor), Serena Hill (casting director), Campbell Young Associates (hair and wigs designer), Laurence Belcher (resident director), and Tavia Jefferson (cultural coordinator).
