A dramatization of Steinbeck's masterpiece-"Here are solid characters, a taut and
emotional story, a beginning, a middle and a wrenching end."-Washington Post
The Story:
Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, have just arrived at a ranch towork for
enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a man-child--"with the strength of
a gorilla and the mind of an untutored child"--a little boy in the body of a dangerously
powerful man. It's Lennie's obsession with things oft and cuddly that have made George
cautious about whom the gently giant, with his brute strength, associates with. But
when a ranch boss' promiscuous wife if found dead in the barn with a broken neck,
its obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. Realizing they can't run
away anymore, George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie
before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands.
