Until Sat Feb 16, 7.45pm, Perth Theatre, £13-£16.50 (£8.50-£10.50), 0845 612 6319 A first-rate cast takes to the stage in Perth's first show of the new year, the powerful John Steinbeck drama about two migrant farm workers struggling to get by in the Depression. Fresh from his knockabout turn in the Perth panto, Jimmy Chisholm plays the hard-working George, whose loyalty to the child-like Lennie is repeatedly tested as they try to scratch a living.
Playing his well-meaning but clumsy companion is Liam Brennan, winner of the best actor gong in the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland two years ago.
Ian Grieve's production aims to show the dark side of the American dream in a way that only the lyrical honesty of Steinbeck can.
