A woke Mockingbird redux
Julie, a wealthy Jamaican-Canadian screenwriter, wants to retell the Southern classic To Kill a Mockingbird from the viewpoint of the Finch family’s maternal black maid, Calpurnia. When she seeks the help of Precy, her own family’s Filipina caregiver, she triggers an explosive standoff that gives her more of the servant’s perspective than she’d bargained for. Dora Award–winning playwright Audrey Dwyer’s gutsy new comedy will leave you cringing in your seat as it fearlessly confronts the racism and inequality festering under the surface of liberal Toronto.
