The design team for A Time to Kill will feature scenic design by James Noone, costume design by Tony Award® nominee David Woolard, lighting design by Tony Award® winner Jeff Croiter, sound design by Lindsay Jones, and projection design by Jeff Sugg.
“Master storytellers are masterful dramatists of the stage on the page, and the thrill of bringing John Grisham’s vivid cast of remarkable characters and his riveting American classic of race and justice to Broadway is the stuff that any playwright’s dreams are made of,” said playwright Rupert Holmes. “I’m particularly thrilled that Daryl Roth and Eva Price have brought such magnetic, compelling actors into A Time to Kill‘s dramatic arsenal.”
