He discusses his ideas along with David Willetts MP and the executive editor of the Evening Standard, Anne McElvoy.

To Kill a Mockingbird
The Tricycle Theatre is presenting a production of Harper Lee's classic, To Kill a Mockingbird, performed entirely by lawyers and judges. We join the cast as they prepare for the first night, to ask them what their professional experience is bringing to the production and what they feel about working so closely with Atticus Finch, a model of integrity for lawyers.
To Kill a Mockingbird is at the Tricycle Theatre in London from 7-10 May.
