The Grapes of Wrath
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 11/12/2017
When John Steinbeck wrote his Novel about dispossessed Oklahoma sharecroppers heading west in search of the promised land of California, he was also writing about a nation in search of itself. This groundbreaking adaptation takes the audience through the narrative of the Joad family's travails — a winding trail on Route 66 blighted by poverty, deaths, desertions, labor violence, and natural disasters. Mr. Galati conveys the loneliness of the open road with the assistance of an evocative score, which echoes Woodie Guthrie and other heartland music. Its themes — the importance of family, community, endurance and sacrifice — are as powerful today as they were when Steinbeck penned the book. A powerful and deeply affecting stage version of one of the masterpieces of American literature, The Grapes of Wrath won a Tony Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play.
