font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>To Kill a Mockingbird</span> </font></i></b>explores
the power of family and the pursuit of justice with wisdom, wit and warmth. Set
in a sleepy 1930s Southern town, the play tells the story of the widower,
attorney Atticus Finch, who undertakes the unpopular defense of a wrongly
accused young black father, Tom Robinson. Patient and committed to justice in
the face of community prejudice, Atticus instills in his children the
traditional family values of integrity, courage, responsibility for one’s
actions and respect for human dignity.<o:p></o:p></p>
