To Kill a Mockingbird was one of the most interesting performances I’ve watched. I enjoyed it extremely, especially because it was executed well with the acting and because of the setup. I loved watching as the set changed between scenes and the technology behind it. I thought that the stage that rises up in order to demonstrate the porch was cool and there was a lot of thought behind the backdrops and lighting. For example, when Scout, Dill, and Jem were on the porch, the lighting was warm and there was even a fake tree in order to show how they were outside.

I also thought that the actors did a stellar job. I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing at all of the jokes that occurred throughout the play. I loved Dill the most because I felt as though his confused and funny reactions to everything were relatable to me in life. I loved how strong Atticus Finch’s character was, and it made me feel sorry for Tom because of his verdict. I remember gasping when I learned of Tom’s death, which left me shook because he was clearly the victim in the play. I also thought it was interesting how the characters kept mentioning Boo Radley even though he only appeared in the last 10 minutes of the play. His character was much different than a creepy old guy who lives in his house all the time, and I was genuinely in shock.

Overall, the show was a wonderful experience and I’m glad I was able to see it. Although the seats were incredibly cramped and my legs were in constant pain, I think it was worth it just to see the adaptation of the novel. I remember hating the novel in 7th grade, but this play was able to drastically change my perception of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
