I was 13 years old, and on reflection, it was probably the first adult book I had ever read that truly resonated with me on a deeper and more emotional level. Coming from a respectable, British, middle class family I was at that time absolutely way too young, sheltered and naive to fully appreciate the vast context or central mechanism of this beloved and iconic American novel. I had very few plans, they Mark Clements weren’t best laid, and none of them had gone too badly awry thus far. So, at that particular time, I was clearly compelled, pre-occupied and absorbed by the unusual, amusing and often moving friendship of Lennie and George; two men, through sheer necessity, against the socio-political backdrop of the Great Depression, thrown together, yet so bound to each other in a relationship of co-dependency, that the whole universe of the story always had the potential to implode at any moment they might be pulled apart. As an only child, and a somewhat shy one at that, I identified with, and was intrigued by this extraordinary and unique friendship, and definitely had just enough insight in that respect to appreciate and be affected by Steinbeck’s elegiac depiction of abject loneliness, longing, and isolation amongst his protagonists. In 2006, I was grateful to be invited by my close friend, Bernard Havard, the Artistic Director, of the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, to fulfill a long desired professional aspiration to direct a production of the play. We had a sensational cast, that included my good friend and terrific and beloved Philly based actor, Scott Greer, who reprises the role of Lenny here at ATC, Jonathan Wainwright, Jonathan Gillard Daly, and Scott Greer in ATC’s production of Of Mice and Men Photo by Michael Brosilow 4 FEEL THE MOMENT 2015/2016 SEASON ABOUT THE PLAY along with long term collaborator, scenic designer, Todd Ivins, who also recreates his beautiful work for this co-production between Arizona Theatre Company and the Milwaukee Rep, where I currently reside as Artistic Director. Revisiting this beloved text years later as an adult, I was struck by Steinbeck’s brilliant, but simple observations of human need and desired connectivity, while arguably offering up one of the most elegant and erudite accounts of characters in search of the American Dream with all its innate fragility on full display. It is sadly, but prophetically true from the poem of Robbie Burns, that inspires the title of this play, that the“Best laid schemes O’ Mice and Men’ oft go awry”, and as we mature, we can assuredly feel this in deeper and darker ways as the years roll on. We reach for our dreams and open ourselves up in ways that expose us to the cruel reality of sometimes only realizing them fleetingly, or perhaps not at all. Of Mice and Men, is ultimately a harsh and cruel tale, but also one that can somehow inspire us to value or take consolation in our own pursuit and personal vision of the American Dream, and continue to dare us to dream that compulsive dream. Nine years later, I am most grateful to ATC, Artistic Director, David Ira Goldstein, and the Trustees of Milwaukee Repertory Theater, for affording me another opportunity to direct this iconic piece of American literature with a new and equally terrific group of talented/dedicated actors, and a group of creative artists who have put this production together with much love, care and attention, for which I extend my sincere gratitude. I sincerely hope that you find this performance, at least half as fruitful and satisfying, as we have all done so in making it. Mark Clements Director Scott Greer and Jonathan Wainwright in ATC’s production of Of Mice and Men.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, PLEASE “One of the most powerful productions of a Miller play I have ever seen. By the end you feel both emotionally drained and unexpectedly elated — the classic hallmark of a great production.” - The Daily Telegraph “To say visionary director Ivo van Hove’s production is the best show in the West End is like saying Stonehenge is the current best rock arrangement in Wiltshire; it almost feels silly to compare this pure, primal, colossal thing with anything else on the West End. A guileless granite pillar of muscle and instinct, Mark Strong’s stupendous Eddie is a force of nature.” - Time Out “Intense and adventurous. One of the great theatrical productions of the decade.” -The London Times DIRECT FROM TWO SOLD-OUT ENGAGEMENTS IN LONDON YOUNG VIC’S OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTION OF ARTHUR MILLER’S “A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE” Directed by IVO VAN HOVE STARRING MARK STRONG, NICOLA WALKER, PHOEBE FOX, EMUN ELLIOTT, MICHAEL GOULD IS COMING TO BROADWAY THIS FALL PREVIEWS BEGIN WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21 OPENING NIGHT IS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12 AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE Direct from two completely sold-out engagements in London, producers Scott Rudin and Lincoln Center Theater will bring the Young Vic’s critically-acclaimed production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE to Broadway this fall.
