The Grapes of Wrath

adapted by Frank Galati from the novel by John Steinbeck

directed by Chris Baldock

4 JUL - 21 JUL 2007 at 8.15pm

Sunday Matinee 15 JUL at 3pm

Renowned first as a much-loved Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, and then as an award-winning motion picture, John Steinbeck's classic story of the Joad family - and their flight from the dust bowl of Oklahoma to California in search of a better life - comes brilliantly to life in this Tony Award-winning adaptation.

With a cast of thirty, and with stunning spectacle, this deeply moving affirmation of the strength of the human spirit is a dramatic epic not to be missed.

"This is a thrilling theatrical achievement that gets its power from the still sharp relevance of its human message" NY Post
