A Time to Kill

Closed November 17, 2013

Rupert Holmes did an excellent job of translating it from the page to the stage!

John Grisham

Why See A Time to Kill?

The greatest courtroom drama of a generation is now the theatrical event of the season!

A Time to Kill is based on John Grisham's classic bestselling novel about a violent attack on a young black girl in a small, racially-divided Mississippi town. When the girl's father decides to take the law into his own hands, an ambitious and idealistic white lawyer steps in to take on the case and the family fight for justice.

The play is adapted for the stage by Tony Award winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood) and directed by Ethan McSweeny (The Best Man). This production of A Time to Kill is also the first-ever John Grisham novel to be adapted for the stage. It premiered in pre-Broadway engagement in Washington, DC, in 2011 at the Arena Stage.

Emmy winning actor Tom Skerritt is set to make his Broadway debut in the production as Lucien Wilbanks. He stars alongside Patrick Page, Tonya Pinkins, and Chike Johnson.
