The West Wing writer's adaptation of Lee’s novel of racial injustice and childhood innocence had sold-out seasons on both sides of the Atlantic in 2022-23.
The book was inspired by Lee’s own childhood and has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide. Mockingbird won a Pulitzer Prize for Literature and was long at the top of America's banned-books lists for depiction of one of the uglier sides of American society.
