Of Mice And Men UK Tour

For this production, Of Mice & Men UK Tour, our managing director Olly Whitehead played a vital part in this production as the in house lighting technician for its duration at Derby Theatre. Olly's main duties consisted of operating the lighting console throughout the show, maintaining the set practicals & lighting fixtures & accessories used in the production. Lennie and George are unlikely best friends, two drifters bound together by a shared faith and the ambition to live the great American dream. Landing a job on a Californian ranch during the Great Depression, their hopes of earning money to eventually buy a place of their own are raised, and then wholly shattered in a heart-breaking conclusion. Of Mice and Men remains as powerful and relevant today as it did when originally written in 1937. Based on Steinbeck’s classic novella, and with themes of friendship, migration and prejudice, this play continues to move and resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
