[2] The premiere starred Meghan Swaby as Julie, Carolyn Fe as Precy, Matthew Brown as Mark, Andrew Moodie as Lawrence, Don Allison as James, and Natasha Greenblatt as Christine.
The play featured Kwaku Adu-Poku as Mark, Ellie Ellwand as Christine, Rochelle Kives as Precy, Arne MacPherson as James, and Ray Strachan as Lawrence.
The character of Lawrence embodies the traditional image of an immigrant parent trying to make the best life for their children while also trying to educate them about their culture.
He also feels that Julie, a rich woman living in Toronto with no Black friends, does not know any more about being African-American in Alabama in the 1930s than Harper Lee did.
Julie, on the other hand, faults Atticus Finch for his "slut-shaming" and refusing to call out the prejudice of white jury members.
