By John Steinbeck / Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, with delusions of living off the “fat of the land,” have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly have made George cautious about with whom the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates. His promise to allow Lennie to “tend to the rabbits” on their future land keeps Lennie calm, as the two men work towards their dream. But when a ranch boss’s promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn with a broken neck, George knows that Lennie killed her. Now worried about his own safety, George finds Lennie in his favorite hiding spot. Realizing they can no longer run away, George is faced with a moral question: How should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands?

CONTENT WARNING:
Of Mice and Men was written in 1937 and explores how the system uses identity politics to separate and oppress us. It contains themes of discrimination based on race, disability and gender and explores difficult topics relevant to the time period in which the play is set, which still resonate today. The production stays true to the original script, exposing the depths of the characters and inviting conversations around difficult topics set against the brutality of the time.
It will therefore contain sensitive content including topics that cover racism, ableism, sexism, violence, assault, murder, death, plus some strong and offensive language.
