If IBDB doesn’t list it, then it wasn’t on Broadway.

SPOO!!  I'm a total goon! :o Aaron Sorkin adapted To Kill a Mockingbird and it was just another version of 1984 that was on Broadway!  I got those mixed up.  Dopey me!!

I had never read 1984 until a couple of years before the John Hurt movie was released. It blew me away, as did that movie version.

I do have the 1956 DVD here, and either I never watched it all the way through or I’ve simply forgotten most of it. I’ll take it out.

As to stage versions, I believe I’ve only seen the one a local theater did several years ago, and it was more powerful and mind blowing than I ever imagined it could be.

I've read the book, but never seen the movie.  Theater Artists Olympia (I'm still on their board) mounted a stage version just before Aaron Sorkin's version opened on Broadway.


What did Aaron Sorkin have to do with this production?

Nothing.  But when TAO was rehearsing the version that they performed, which was adapted by Michael Gene Sullivan, the Aaron Sorkin Broadway adaptation was making news because he's famous.  We got a lot of questions about if that was the version that TAO was performing, and it wasn't.  pug directed it and she felt that the version that we got was a better adaptation than Aaron Sorkin's.


But your web tag says Aaron Sorkin’s version?

What web tag?  Where?


In your post, the part you highlighted.
