Of Mice & Men
by
John Steinbeck

Based on the 1937 novel, 'Of Mice & Men' is a tragic story of friendship, compassion and despair. Two migrant laborers - George and Lennie - move from town to town seeking farm work during the Great Depression. George takes care of the child-like Lennie as the two pursue their dream of owning a place of their own, but Lennie's handicap creates problems, and soon George must make a choice that will change both their lives forever. Recipient of the 1938 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play.
