Of Mice and Men

Of Mice and Men, written by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in California, USA. Structured in three acts of two chapters each, it is intended to be both a novella and a script for a play. He wanted to write a novel that could be played from its lines, or a play that could be read like a novel.

Presented by the Theatre Players, produced by Cyril Chosack in the Hofmeyr Hall, October 1946, with Don Howie, Ralph Kahn, José Ressel, Rosemary Barnard.
