Of Mice and Men

A fragile dream, tested by life on the road

This autumn 2026 touring production pares John Steinbeck's Depression-era story back to the friendship between George and Lennie, two itinerant workers holding on to a shared dream of land of their own. Makin Projects describes the adaptation as a small-scale two-hander, with Nigel Miles-Thomas as Lennie and Michael Roy Andrew as George.

The official listing gives the production a 12+ age guide and a running time of 1 hour 5 minutes. Its synopsis points to a tragic turn and an impossible choice, so this is one for readers comfortable with serious subject matter.

The Theatre advises using the nearby free long-stay car parks at New Street or Albion Street and avoiding Spring Street itself, a narrow residential road. Step-free entry to the stalls is through the bar door, while wheelchair spaces and other access arrangements can be organised through the box office.
