Of Mice and Men

John Steinbeck’s classic drama novella-turned play OF MICE AND MEN hit the boards in 1937 electrifying the audience at the Music Box Theatre. Eighty years later, the story of these two iconic figures Lenny and George continues to be part of our country’s collective imagination – a tale of friendship in a world of solitude that is sustained by illusory dreams.

  Simply wonderful! Steinbeck would be relieved to know his tale was told with so much spirit and dignity. Hurrah! The story leaps from the pages and is told by a remarkable cast filled with brilliant performances. I gotta see this one again. And you should too.

  - David Dixon, SanDiego Story

• “

  The stage adaptation of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men may be just the next best thing to reading the 1937 novella, but it contains a dramatic potency all its own. Director Richard Baird has conceived an adaptation that is startling in its sequences of violence, yet wistful and even tender.

  Thanks to Baird and his team, this is one of the best productions of this still-relevant show I’ve ever seen.
