Author! Author!

Visualize this: You're in a high-school play. The performance is an adaptation of a classic novel. (Aren't all school plays adaptations of a classic?) But, it's not just an ordinary classic. (Can a classic be ordinary?) This novel won the 1961 Pulitzer prize for fiction. In 1999 it received a distinction as the best novel of the 20th Century.

So, imagine, you are performing in a high-school play as one of the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird, and sitting there in the audience is Harper Lee - the author.

A high school play based on Harper Lee's classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" brought together black and white high school students to tell the classic story of racial injustice — and even drew out the novel's reclusive author.
