ABOUT THE SHOW
A TIME TO KILL PLAYED ITS LAST PERFORMANCE ON NOVEMBER 17
This fall, John Grisham’s debut novel A TIME TO KILL, one of the most celebrated courtroom dramas of the last several decades, became the first in his iconic collection of legal dramas to be adapted for the Broadway stage.
A TIME TO KILL is the incendiary story of a Southern community torn in half by an unspeakable crime. As the shocking news hits the public, small town America becomes the center of a media storm, where innocence is the victim, race is on trial and lives hang in the balance.
Part courtroom drama, part suspense thriller, pure theatrical dynamite, A TIME TO KILL was on Broadway at the Golden Theatre.

"It was my first book and the first that I have allowed to be adapted for the theatre. Rupert Holmes did an excellent job of translating it from the page to the stage, and I am happy that not only my loyal readers, but a whole new audience, will be able to experience this story in live theatre."
—John Grisham
