One of the classic stories of the twentieth century by one of America's greatest novelists.

However, there are times when sharp-witted George feels the burden of looking after Lennie, a gentle giant who doesn't realise his own strength. As they drift from job to job, trouble's never far away. When the pair get work in California, the dream looks set to become a reality until the two friends discover the flip side of their American Dream, as a tragic turn of events threatens to destroy their friendship and leave George faced with an impossible choice...
