Emerson Stage's The Grapes of Wrath

The Grapes of Wrath
By Frank Galati
Adapted from the novel by John Steinbeck
Directed by Maureen Shea

In this adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by John Steinbeck, the Joad family has lost everything: their home, livelihood, dignity and nearly all hope for a better future. With what little remains, the family leaves the Dust Bowl fields of Oklahoma for the fertile lands promised in California. Expecting the land of milk and honey, the Joads face further disillusionment, exploitation, and a lack of resources at the... hands of big business and corrupt authorities.
