Woodford Theatre: “Of Mice and Men”
By John Steinbeck. Written in 1937, John Steinbeck’s stage adaptation of his own novel was tremendously successful on Broadway. This “Dust Bowl-Era” drama focuses on the friendship between George and his companion Lennie. As they travel from farm to farm looking for work, George and the fiercely strong but developmentally disabled Lennie share the dream of being able to own their own ranch and “live off the fatta the lan’.” Where they end up changes their relationship and alters the goal they so desperately wish to attain. The story provides a razor-sharp exploration of friendship and loyalty, of outsiders and loneliness, and of best-laid plans that go astray. (PG-13)
