AN epic tale of survival and friendship in 1930's California is on the bill at Birmingham Repertory Theatre.

Of Mice and Men tells the story of George and Lennie who find themselves moving from farm to farm in search of work as the Great Depression sweeps across America.

Fleeing from a brush with the law, they arrive at Curly's ranch determined to finally scrape together their big stake and buy the farm of their dreams.

But their American Dream is never realised as a woman steps into their lives and their friendship is tested to the limits.

Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, runs at the Main House from tomorrow until Monday, November 26.

Tickets are available from the box office on 0121 236 4455.
