FELLA GETS USE’ TO A PLACE, IT’S HARD TO GO
A deeply affirming tribute to the endurance of the human spirit, John Steinbeck’s Depression-era masterwork is a classic of American literature, a landmark film, and became a Broadway hit in Frank Galati’s Tony Award-winning adaptation.
Natural disasters. Rampant foreclosures. Corporate greed and record joblessness. Written in the wake of the Great Depression, The Grapes of Wrath speaks to the same harsh realities that America faces today. The story of a nation is told through the eyes of one Oklahoma clan — the Joads — driven off their farm and forced west to find work in California’s “promised land.” Throughout their epic journey, the family refuses to lose hope in the face of suffering as they cling furiously to their human dignity.
