ESA Inclusive Theater to stage play by John Steinbeck

ESA Inclusive Theater will present a play "Of Mice and Men" on February 12, Azernews reports.

Directed by Nihad Gulamzada, the play is based on John Steinbeck's novel (1937).

The novel narrates the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States.

Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences working alongside migrant farm workers as a teenager in the 1910s.

The play has been repeatedly staged at the ESA Inclusive Theater.
