Legal threats by Rudin against licensed productions of Sergel adaptation
Prior to the run of Sorkin's adaptation, another version of the play adapted by Christopher Sergel had been available for license for over 50 years, and often produced in regional theaters. Since the opening of Sorkin's adaptation, lawyers acting for Atticus Limited Liability Company (the company formed by Rudin for the Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird) claimed worldwide exclusivity for professional stage rights to ANY adaptation of Lee's book, and have moved aggressively to shut down any and all productions other productions that had already paid the holder of rights to the Sergel script, Dramatic Publishing if they are staged within 25 miles of whatever ALLC determines to be a major metropolitan center that might eventually host the Sorkin adaptation. This is very newsworthy, and there are multiple linkable sources regarding the issue, but I'm not sure how best to phrase it to conform with Wikipedia's standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3005:2301:3000:ECFF:CDC7:AB47:798 (talk) 05:51, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
