Of Mice and Men
Summary
Of Mice and Men
A tragedy on the American Dream – exploring themes of human interaction, dependence and isolation. The narrator follows George and Lennie, two very opposite friends, who dream of owning their own piece of land during the Great Depression. Before their dream comes true, Lennie accidentally commits a murder and their vision becomes even more impossible…
As the drama adaptation touches upon historical and political topics an interdisciplinary teaching project with History, Politics and Social Science is possible – the original version is a novel.
