The Rehearsal

In the spring of 1971, Will Bartlett comes up with a plan that will change his family's life forever. As the ambitious director of a small, struggling resident theatre, Will is under increasing pressure to sustain the public's interest. His idea is to invite the entire cast of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men to his country farm to "become" their characters in the month before their first performance. But soon everything Will has taken for granted is shaken to its core, as events and personalities spiral out of his control with often comic consequences.
