Description
This is a scene from the play "To Kill A Mockingbird." A special presentation commemorating the 50th anniversary of the book. The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," with its memorable characters - Atticus Finch, Scout, Jem, Dill and Boo Radley - are familiar to many in our culture. The book's author, Harper Lee, is a native of the beautiful Southern town of Monroeville, Alabama. Many literary scholars and local residents firmly believe that some of Ms. Lee's childhood acquaintances served as models for the colorful personalities in the revered book concerning the struggle against racial injustice in the South during the 1930s. One of her playmates was the young Truman Capote, who spent early years and summers in Monroeville with his cousins & aunts. Harper Lee has revealed that the character Dill is derived from Truman. There was also in Monroeville a much-feared young recluse who was likely the basis for the fictional Boo Radley.The beautiful old Courthouse on the town square, which now houses the Monroe County Heritage Museums, served as a model for the famed courtroom scene from the book.
