Coming Soon: The Grapes of Wrath
July 24 - August 29, 2010
Renowned first as a novel, and then as a prize-winning motion picture, the story of the Joad family and their flight from the dust bowl of Oklahoma is familiar to all. Desperately proud, but reduced to poverty by the loss of their farm, the Joads pile their few possessions on a battered old truck and head west for California, hoping to find work and a better life. Led by the indomitable Ma Joad, who is determined to keep the family together at any cost, and by the volatile young Tom Joad, an ex-convict who grows increasingly impatient with the intolerance and exploitation they encounter on their trek, the Joads must learn to deal with the stark realities of the Great depression. And yet, despite their anguish, the play becomes, in the final essence a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the strength of the human spirit, and of the essential goodness which – then as now – resides in the hearts and minds of the “common man” throughout the world. "…majestic…leaves one feeling that the generosity of spirit he saw in a brutal country is not so much lost as waiting once more to be found."
- The New York Times "This is, overall, a thrilling theatrical achievement that gets its power from the still sharp relevance of its human message…"
- The New York Post "…majestic…leaves one feeling that the generosity of spirit he saw in a brutal country is not so much lost as waiting once more to be found."
- The New York Times "THE GRAPES OF WRATH is a lesson in history, stagecraft, and truth that we cannot afford not to learn."
- New York Magazine
