About the Play

​

Content Advisory: With themes of social exclusion based on race, disability and gender, Of Mice and Men stays true to the original novel (1937), exposing the depths of the characters and inviting conversations around difficult topics set against the brutality of the time. The play contains sensitive content including topics that cover racism, ableism, sexism, violence, assault, murder, death, plus some strong and offensive language.

​

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 man-child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It’s Lennie’s obsessions with things soft and cuddly that have made George cautious about who the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates with. His promise to allow Lennie to “tend to the rabbits” on their future land keeps Lennie calm, amidst distractions. But when a ranch boss’ promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn, the obvious conclusion is one that pits George against his own conscience.
