The Theatre Company Presents of Mice and Men
In Of Mice and Men two drifters 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 associates with. His promise to allow Lennie to "tend to the rabbits" on their future land keeps Lennie calm. But when a ranch boss' promiscuous wife is found dead in the barn with a broken neck, it's obvious that Lennie killed her. George knows exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he meets him there. George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands.
