"OF MICE AND MEN"( Yeh Aadmi Yeh Chuhe) a play by John Steinbeck and adapted in Hindi by 'Virendra Saxena & Devendra Raj Ankur' is a frightening exploration of friendship, loneliness, tough choices, the fragility of dreams and working class life.

The Play allows the lives of Lori and Jaggu - two drifters bound together by a deep but complicated friendship. Jaggu- sharp featured, quick-witted and protective, also shoulders the caring responsibility for Lori - innocent and immensely strong - which makes him both endearing and dangerous.

It paints the vivid imagery and colors of ranches, and the deprived lonely life of workers. Behind the facades and masks, the characters are heartbreakingly human - Boby's aggression, khemu's despair and Hira's loneliness reflect the isolation and desperation of the era.

In the midst of this bleakness, Jaggu and Lori shared and elusive dream of owning a place of their own shines like a fragile beacon of hope.

Its power lies in the honesty about the human condition. Despite their closed knitted friendship and a shared dream, life gives him no choice except to blow his friend's head, just to make the death less painful for him. That bullet in the Lori's skull, puts an end to his existence, and also their shared dream of a less torturous existence.

Steinbeck master fully captures the beauty and cruelty of life, making "OF MICE AND MEN" not just a story about two men chasing a dream, but an exploration of human dilemmas.

The story of Jaggu and Lori shows what it means to be a human, and stays with us for long.
