With "The Grapes of Wrath" he gave finally a name and won 1940 Pulitzer Prize, in the 60's followed the Nobel Prize for literature. He is one of the greatest American writers of the 20th Century. We're talking about John Steinbeck. Based on his novella "Of Mice and Men," a stage version was developed, which is currently on show at Mainfrankentheater. A great, interesting and very successful production just before the summer break, you should look at yet.
The play dealt with a very Critical, the idea of the "American Dream". Like so many of the two migrant workers George and Lennie dream is someday to sit down with angespartem money on a piece of land can be. But the reality on the farms and the hard working day this dream back in unachievable distance, also Lennie has a very different problem: he is mentally retarded, but strong as an ox, but I know just not able to deal with this force. He accidentally crushed mice when He wants to pet them because he likes anything is velvety and soft and this marked preference also made sure that he had and George escape from the last farm, because the woman thought of the farm owner, Lennie wanted to rape her - and now he just wanted touch her dress.
George and Lennie arrive at a new farm, which is under the thumb of the Junior Chefs Curley. Curley's wife is driving around constantly in the barracks, looking for the conversation takes, "just someone to talk", she herself remains alone in this world of men. Her hair is very soft and Lennie is interested in soon for them ...
monotonous and hard to work on the farm. Hanging out on the following work, followed by Hang out. Puffbesuche weekend, playing cards are the rare highlights. This sadness is also reflected in the stage again - a rotating barn, plain, colorless, barren and unfriendly. You must be able to endure a lot of stick and needs a thick skin and strong elbows. So someone like Lennie is as out of place. Who is weak, or otherwise, for example, because of his color, is an outsider and shunned by the others. Feelings or affection are out of place that needs to Maria Vogt as a woman to admit to the boss very soon and dreams to have is a waste of time anyway. Recognizes just the black outsider Crooks (toll: Issaka Zoungrana), who, separated from the others stay in the house must be under his window the dung heap.
Klaus Mueller-Beck plays the lumbering Lennie, which acts like a big kid, brilliant and very convincing - the hands always knead the hem of the shirt, restless to and Herwiegen, fingers in their ears when it is loud. A great performance and certainly not easy with a large part of the play. Also Christian Manuel Oilveira are the backward and mutilated Candy credible, without ever cover. Georg Zeies as George endures the quirks Lennies a gruff, sometimes choleric, yet caring way and takes the big boobies in protection if need be.
Although the piece is several years old, has director Christoph Diem production given a timeless and contemporary character, moving and busy, not least the end of the piece is also thanks to the performances of the actors under the skin and leaves a lasting impression . Should not be missed.
