Westport Country Playhouse stages “Of Mice and Men,” a classic drama by John Steinbeck, directed by Paul Newman. The play is based on John Steinbeck's 1937 tale of two traveling companions, George and Lennie, who wander the country during the Depression, dreaming of a better life for themselves. George wants to own land and be his own boss. His mentally challenged partner, Lennie, simply wants rabbits to play with. When it seems that their dreams might be attainable, something goes terribly wrong. Tony Award-winning designer Michael Yeargan will be scenic designer, with the legendary Jane Greenwood as costume designer. $30 - $65.
