And so to the theatre. It was the West Yorkshire Playhouse to be specific to see a new production of 'Of Mice and Men'. Had you asked me before yesterday I would have claimed to be a Steinbeck aficionado, but that claim would seem to be based solely on having visited the Steinbeck museum in Salinas (highly recommended - the museum that is, Salinas is a dump) because I certainly hadn't read the novella from which the play was adapted.
In any event the
play was excellent - with a slight reservation about the man sized rabbit - and perhaps all the better because I didn't know what happened. For those who like me don't know the story it isn't terribly cheery, but is pretty powerful.
