Wyndham’s Theatre will host the triumphant return of Aaron Sorkin’s blistering stage adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird this summer. The production is scheduled for a strictly limited West End season, running from 25 June 2026 to 12 September 2026. This landmark theatrical event follows a series of sell-out seasons on both Broadway and in London, currently continuing its success through a massive tour across the UK and Ireland.
Richard Coyle is set to reprise his critically acclaimed role as Atticus Finch. Known for his work in The Player Kings and the Fantastic Beasts franchise, Coyle previously drew immense praise for his portrayal of the principled lawyer during the 2022 West End run. Atticus remains the moral heart of the story, navigating a 1934 Alabama town gripped by prejudice while attempting to shield the innocence of his children, Scout and Jem.
The production brings together two of the most formidable forces in modern entertainment. Writer Aaron Sorkin, the Academy Award winner behind The West Wing and The Social Network, provides a riveting contemporary lens on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. His script is paired with the visionary direction of Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, formerly of the Lincoln Center Theater, whose previous successes include acclaimed revivals of My Fair Lady and South Pacific.
Harper Lee’s original 1960 novel remains a cultural juggernaut, having sold over 45 million copies worldwide. By addressing racial injustice through the eyes of childhood, the story has maintained its status as a seminal piece of American literature. Sorkin’s adaptation has been described by critics as spellbinding and deeply moving, frequently resulting in nightly standing ovations.
Tickets for this anticipated summer residency at Wyndham’s Theatre go on sale today, Friday 20 February 2026, at 10 am. Given the limited nature of the run and the production's history of selling out, early booking through the official website is highly encouraged. Further casting announcements for the West End ensemble are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
