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.
