After working for seven years as a comic book writer and artist without ever quite having made a living at it, Bradley Walton landed a job in the library of his high school alma mater. A well-remembered drama and forensics junkie, he was quickly recruited to head the school's forensics program, as well as establish and direct an annual spring play. Long intimidated and befuddled by Shakespeare, but figuring it was high time to do something about it, he directed The Tempest as his first show, followed by a wildly (if improbably) successful Star Wars-themed production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Having conquered his greatest theatrical fear, the next logical step seemed to be writing his own plays to direct. To his enormous relief, he turned out to be rather good at it. Mr. Walton lives in Virginia with his wife, daughter, some cats, and an embarrassingly large quantity of comic books and Star Wars action figures. In addition to his work with Playscripts, his writing has been published by Image Comics, Desperado Publishing, Caliber Comics, Basement Comics, and Brooklyn Publishers.

Synopsis: | Five less-than-stellar students meet to work on their group English project. Their assigned reading: Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." Unfortunately, not one of the five has actually read the book. In fact, nobody even brought a copy of the book along. Worst of all, they're not exactly sure what the title of the book even is! Thus begins a hilarious series of guesses and assumptions which culminate in a massive conspiracy theory about the book and the true threat of mockingbirds! | |||||
