Event
The Grapes of Wrath
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 to the promised land of California. Hoping to find work and a better life the Joads must deal with terrible deprivation and death before reaching their destination--where their waning hopes are dealt a final blow by the brutal realities of the Great Depression. And yet, despite the anguish and suffering which it depicts, the play becomes in the final scenes, a soaring and deeply moving affirmation that out of the depths of tragedy the transcendence of the human spirit is assured.
