OF MICE AND MEN // 29 JAN-3 FEB
ANTON & ERIN… BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD // 15-16 FEB
A brand new production of the most iconic and powerful story in
American literature. Set in the trying times of the Great Depression, Of
Mice And Men is a powerful portrait of the American spirit and a
heartbreaking testament to the bonds of friendship and what it means
to be human. This landmark play by Nobel Prize winner, John Steinbeck,
is the story of George and Lennie, two migrant ranch workers who
dream of owning their own ranch. Still painfully relevant to modern
times, this is a moving story about trying to hold onto your dreams and
friendships during difficult times. From the producers of Avenue Q,
The Crucible, American Idiot and Flashdance comes this American
classic for all time.
7.30pm (Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday matinee 2.30pm). Price:
£12.25-£37.75
