NORTH COAST REP REVIVES AN AMERICAN CLASSIC,
JOHN STEINBECK’S IMMORTAL
OF MICE AND MEN
Performances Beginning Wednesday, October 18, 2017
Running Through Sunday, November 12, 2017
Directed by Richard Baird
Solana Beach, Calif. For its second play of Season 36, North Coast Rep is reviving John Steinbeck’s classic drama novella-turned play, OF MICE AND MEN. The play electrified the opening night audience at the Music Box Theatre in 1937. Now, eighty years later, the story of these two iconic figures, Lenny and George, continues to be part of our country’s collective imagination – a tale of friendship in a world of solitude that is sustained by illusory dreams. Labeled “a masterpiece” by Time Magazine and “powerfully moving” by the Wall Street Journal, OF MICE AND MEN is must-see theatre for those who treasure timeless, compelling storytelling.
Richard Baird directs Ted Barton,* J. Stephen Brantley,* Lawrence Brown,* Wallace Bruce, Sierra Jolene, Justin Lang, Max Macke, Nicolas Mongiardo-Cooper,* and Jacob Sidney.* The design team includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Aaron Rumley (Sound Design), Matthew Novotny (Lighting), Elisa Benzoni (Costume Design), and Andrea Gutierrez (Props). Aaron Rumley* is the Stage Manager.
