Stage Review: 'Mockingbird' message still resonates

Post Gazette: "Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' sadly still resonates with its themes of racism and inequality. Since its publication in 1960, it's been a favorite of many, read frequently in high school and college literature classes. It was, of course, made into the enormously popular film starring Gregory Peck, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Atticus Finch, the Maycomb, Ala., attorney who took on the hopeless case of a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman."
