Of Mice and Men
She was made for love… and tragedy.
The Story
Two migrant workers cling to a dream of a little land of their own as the Depression grinds them down.
Quick-witted George looks after Lennie, a gentle giant whose great strength and childlike mind keep leading the pair into trouble. Taking work on a California ranch, they edge tantalisingly close to their dream, until the volatile boss's son and his neglected wife pull them toward disaster. A moving, faithful adaptation of John Steinbeck's beloved novel.
