A new stage adaptation of John Steinbeck's classic novel Of Mice and Men is being produced at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts in Anchorage.

It will run from October 26th until November 4th - and the heart-wrenching tale about George and Lennie is dramatised in full.

This unlikely pair of migrant workers only have their dreams of a better life to their name - and each other.

Lennie is an innocent - and this keeps getting the pair into trouble as he is placed in scenarios of which he has no understanding.

As a result, George is left to protect both of them as they get to work at the ranch that is run by the mean-spirited Curly.

The Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage could be the ideal place to stay for holidaymakers travelling to the city, as it is only a ten-minute car or taxi ride away from the venue.
