Of Mice and Men at Leonard Nimoy Thalia, Symphony Space

Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee James Franco (127 Hours, Milk) and Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids, Girls) star as George and Lennie, an unlikely pair of friends drifting across the farms and fields of California. As migrant workers adrift during the Great Depression, the two dream of settling down and living "off the fatta the lan." But their plans (like all those "of mice and men") are jeopardized by hard times and the cruelties of fate. Leighton Meester (Country Strong, Gossip Girl) and Tony Award winner Jim Norton (The Seafarer) costar in this landmark American play, adapted from John Steinbeck's classic and controversial novel. This production that Time Magazine called "a moving masterpiece" is broadcast in HD from London's West End to screens around the world.
