Synopsis
Scout, a young girl in a quiet southern town, is about to experience the dramatic
events that will affect the rest of her life. She and brother Jem are being raised by
their widower father Atticus and by a strong-minded housekeeper Calpurnia. Wide-eyed Scout
is fascinated with the sensitively revealed people of her small town but, from the start,
there's a rumble of thunder just under the calm surface of the life here. The black people
of the community have a special feeling about Scout's father and she doesn't know why. A
few of her white friends are inexplicably hostile and Scout doesn't understand this
either. Unpleasant things are shouted and the bewildered girl turns to her father.
Atticus, a lawyer, explains that he's defending a young Negro wrongfully accused of a
grave crime. Since this is causing such an upset, Scout wants to know why he's doing it.
"Because if I didn't," her father replies, "I couldn't hold my head
up."
Atticus fights his legal battle with a result that is part defeat, part triumph. As
Atticus comes out of the courthouse, the deeply moved town minister tells Scout,
"Stand up. Your father's passing!" This play is a meaningful work of art. |
