OF MICE AND MEN by John Steinbeck. Adapted by Nigel Miles-Thomas. Presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International: www.mtishows.co.uk

Set against the harsh backdrop of the Great Depression, Of Mice and Men is the story of George and Lennie, two friends with a simple dream: to own a farm and live off the fat of the land.

There are times, though, when sharpwitted George feels the burden of looking after Lennie, while gentle giant Lennie doesn’t realise his own strength… As they drift from job to job, trouble’s never far away, and before long it’s time to move on again.

When the pair get work in Soledad, California, however, the dream looks set to become a reality. But a tragic turn of events threatens to destroy George and Lennie’s friendship and leaves George faced with an impossible choice…

Starring Nigel Miles-Thomas and Michael Roy Andrew. Directed by Larry Lamb.

Audience reviews

"Theatre at its finest. The actors seem both as though they were born for their roles. Totally transfixing performances. I cannot rate this highly enough. I am giving serious thought to seeing it a second time."

"A faithful adaptation of the novel, brilliantly portrayed. Great acting, engaging and moving. If you like the novel, you'll love this. If you're not familiar with the novel, treat yourself to the show anyway. Would highly recommend"

"Just went to see this show, it was AMAZING! The show only had 2 cast members and they kept me engaged the whole time through their beautiful storytelling and acting skills. Extremely impressive to watch! I would highly recommend!"
