Of Mice and Men

by John Steinbeck
13 – 21 Nov 2015

Set during hard times in 1930s California, this is an adaptation from the wonderful classic novel by John Steinbeck. On winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he talked about celebrating “man’s capacity for greatness of heart and spirit; gallantry in defeat; courage, compassion, and love.” This play embodies these human traits, as you are drawn into the journey of Lennie and George and the people they meet.

We are always on the look-out for people willing and able to help us out at Lyceum Theatre Oldham. If you have some spare time, during the daytime or evening and would like to be part of an enthusiastic, friendly team of people who all love theatre, please get in touch.

At the moment, we are in desperate need:

People who have a wee bit of DIY skills or don't mind humping and shifting - to help build our award-nominated sets. If you're free on a Monday evening (helping build early on in the process and decorating in the style of the play near to opening night) ...

We are also looking for:

People who like to take a stroll with a purpose - to help distribute leaflets and posters around our local community, businesses and homes. If you have a couple of hours free once a month or so ...
People who would like to learn a new (and simple) computer skill - to help sell tickets using our box office system both face to face and on the phone. We open the box office on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday evening...
