The Joad family. Dispossed of everything but their dignity.
Their journey from the scorched earth Dust Bowl of Oklahoma to the Promised Land of California is nothing short of mythic. Holding to the simplicity and directness of the original novel, the play uses the sparest of technical means to convey its timeless message of the persistence and strength of the human spirit.
The play becomes in the final essence a soaring and deeply moving affirmation of the essential goodness and strength which - then as now - resides in the hearts and minds of the "common man" throughout the world.
Majestic - New York Times. "Welcome to California. Now Go Home" California road sign.
