“Of Mice and Men”

Of Mice and Men: John Steinbeck’s Depression-Era Classic George and Lennie are an unlikely pair of friends leaning on each other as they wander across the farms and fields of California looking for work. As migrant ranch hands adrift during the Great Depression, the two dream of settling down and living “off the fatta the lan.” But their plans (like all those “of mice and men”) are jeopardized by hard times and the cruelties of fate. See this landmark American play, adapted from John Steinbeck’s classic and controversial novel, at Costa Mesa Playhouse.
