Lee's play deals with Civil Rights and racial bigotry in the segregated southern United States of the 1930's. Told through the eyes of the memorable Scout Finch, you learn about her father Atticus, an attorney who hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape; and about Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbor who saves Scout and her brother Jem from being killed.
