Breaking News - "To Kill a Mockingbird" comes to Chicago - Review by Carol Moore
**** Highly Recommended **** Take everything you think you remember about "To Kill a Mockingbird", the movie or the play, and toss it out. Aaron Sorkin’s nuanced adaptation of Harper Lee’s classic novel – hard to believe that it was written more than 50 years ago – is just about perfect. One could almost see the ‘Breaking News’ headlines this story could generate! However, telling the story from a child’s perspective bares all the ugly truths while muting some of the racial prejudice, hatred and mob action. Don’t miss "To Kill a Mockingbird!" 4 Big Spotlights

Mi Kang, who graduates from Northwestern with an MFA later this year, gives a tour de force performance as Afong Moy, "The Chinese Lady". 4 BIG Spotlights
