Of Mice And Men
COMES TO THE ASSEMBLY HALL THEATRE
A THRILLING NEW PRODUCTION OF THE MOST ICONIC STORY IN AMERICAN
LITERATURE COMES TO TUNBRIDGE WELLS FROM MONDAY 26TH TO SATURDAY
31ST MARCH. PRODUCED BY SELLADOOR (FLASHDANCE – THE MUSICAL,
FOOTLOOSE, AVENUE Q) AND DIRECTED BY GUY UNSWORTH, THIS CLASSIC
STORY COMES TO THE STAGE.
Written by Nobel Prize winner, John
Steinbeck, and previously taught in schools
all over the UK, Of Mice and Men tells the story
of two migrant ranch workers who dream of
owning their own ranch.
With nothing but the clothes on their back
and a dream, the wily and bright George
aspires to independence, to be his own boss
and most importantly to be ‘somebody’. Gentle
giant Lennie, who finds comfort in stroking
soft things, aspires to be with George and join
him in this idyllic fantasy, but as the saying
goes – the best laid schemes of mice and men
often go awry.
The pair prepare for work on a new ranch,
after Lennie’s misunderstood behaviour forces
them to flee their previous workplace. But,
with new friendships to be made, contending
with the boss’s angry son, Curley, and Curley’s
lonely wife who is just looking for attention,
can George protect Lennie, or will he have to
take matters into his own hands? to the bonds of friendship and what it means
to be human.
Set during the trying times of the Great
Depression, when millions were forced to
travel in search of a job and their dreams, Of
Mice and Men takes audiences to dusty
California in a powerful portrait of the
American spirit and a heartbreaking testament www.assemblyhalltheatre.co.uk
