The Grapes of Wrath

"...MAJESTIC...leaves one feeling that the generosity of spirit (Steinbeck) saw in a brutal country is not so much lost as waiting once more to be found." —New York TimesOct 19 - Nov 11, 2012By Frank Galati, from the novel by John Steinbeck
Directed by Ed Trujillo

Winner of the 1990 Tony Award for Best Play, THE GRAPES OF WRATH is a landmark of American literature. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, and one man’s fierce reaction to injustice. Set during the Great Depression, the story follows the Joad family, Oklahoma farmers driven from their home by drought and economic hardships, forced to travel west to the promised land of California. Out of their journey towards dignity and a future evolves a drama that is intensely human and majestic in its moral vision.
