⭐ OF MICE AND MEN REVIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR BIRMINGHAM REP ⭐
The Birmingham Rep have announced a brand-new production of the stage adaptation of John Steinbeck’s classic novel, Of Mice and Men.
The new production was revealed as part of their upcoming spring 2023 season.
George and Lennie are migrants with a dream; a dream of a better life, a place where they can belong, where Lennie feels safe and George can be somebody. But this is the Great Depression, not many dreams come true in a time where a few have plenty but most have nothing. When the friends take a job on Curley’s farm, tragedy unfolds leading to a heart-breaking decision.
John Steinbeck’s classic novel is more than 80 years old, but with themes of economic migration, racism, prejudice and exclusion it remains a parable for our times.
A story of enduring friendship, this new production from Rep Associate Director and Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony Director, Iqbal Khan, puts a 2023 lens on Steinbeck’s affecting tale of the crumbling American dream. His recent Rep productions include East is East and Tartuffe.
Presented by Birmingham Rep, Leeds Playhouse and Fiery Angel.
Of Mice and Men will play the Birmingham Rep, running from 18th March – 8th April 2023, with tickets on sale now.
Brilliant! ! !
