Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck, John

San Francisco, The San Francisco Theatre Union, May 21, 1937, first edition, wrappers. Softcover.

This is a program/playbill from the original premiere production of John Steinbeck's first play, one sheet folded to make four pages, the play opened the then-new Green Street Theatre, 629 Green Street, San Francisco, with Sal Pizzo as George and Wellman Farley as Lennie, the San Francisco Theatre Union was a progressive theatre group presenting plays dealing with then-current social, economic, and cultural problems, the play reached Broadway with a different company of characters later that year, this item wasn't in the Adrian H. Goldstone collection, but see Goldstone & Payne E1, not recorded by Morrow, an obvious rarity. Very good.
