"Of Mice and Men": John Steinbeck's Depression-Era Classic

John Steinbeck's play about oppression, isolation and friendship is just as powerful and timely today as when it was first produced on Broadway in 1937. Set in California during the Great Depression, "Of Mice and Men" centers around George and his dim-witted friend Lennie, two disenfranchised migrant ranch workers who share a simple dream: a home of their own, where they can raise rabbits. One of the great classics of American literature as well as of the American stage, "Of Mice and Men" is considered to be a significant factor in Steinbeck's Nobel Prize in Literature. Now you can catch the Role Players Ensemble production of this powerful play on the stage of the Village Theatre.
