The Joad family is traveling from Oklahoma to California to escape the ravages of the Dust Bowl. Fiercely proud but reduced to poverty, volatile young Tom Joad grows increasingly impatient with the intolerance and exploitation the family encounters on their journey. The Grapes of Wrath is a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the indomitability of the human spirit, and the essential goodness and strength which resides in the hearts and minds of the “common man” throughout the world.
A thrilling theatrical achievement that gets its power from the still sharp relevance of its human message.– The New York Post
