Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes’ stage adaptation of A Time to Kill, John Grisham’s best-selling novel, will open on Broadway on Sunday, October 20, 2013, at the John Golden Theatre (252 West 45th Street). This new Broadway play holds the distinction of being the first-ever John Grisham property to be adapted for the stage. Ethan McSweeny will direct, with previews beginning Saturday, September 28th. Sebastian Arcelus, Chike Johnson, Patrick Page, Tony Award winner Tonya Pinkins, Emmy Award winner Tom Skerritt, Fred Dalton Thompson, John Douglas Thompson and Ashley Williams plus Dashiell Eaves, J.R. Horne, John Procaccino, Tijuana Ricks and Lee Sellars will star.
A Time to Kill, the popular courtroom drama, tells the emotionally charged, now-iconic story of a young, idealistic lawyer, Jake Brigance, defending a black man, Carl Lee Hailey, for taking the law into his own hands following an unspeakable crime committed against his young daughter. Their small Mississippi town is thrown into upheaval, and Jake finds himself arguing against the formidable district attorney, Rufus Buckley, and under attack from both sides of a racially divided city. This drama is a thrilling courtroom battle where the true nature of what is right and what is moral are called into question.
Tickets are available now at The John Golden Box Office (252 West 45th Street), online at Telecharge.com or by calling 212-239-6200.

The Rainmaker
My favorite novel by Grisham is The Firm, for a few different reasons. For one, I feel like it really looks at a situation where you can put yourself into the protagonist’s position and made to feel like YOU have a choice to make. In fact, you have many potential choices to make, and each choice’s outcome could affect someone else. The theme is about others depending on you, and Mitch, the main character, had to really jump through a series of hoops and navigate some tough decisions to his final outcome. Throughout the book, Mitch is always just a step ahead of those around him, and thus is makes the reader feel that way, too.
