The Grapes of Wrath chronicles Tom Joad’s return from prison, only to find the Oklahoma family farm in ruins. As the Joad clan gathers their possessions to leave the Dust Bowl behind, there’s both hope and fear about prospects in California. The Joads trek west, encountering others on the same journey, all striving for their own piece of the American dream. A story of perseverance against the odds, Steinbeck’s Great American Novel is the perfect story for National Players’ intimate yet powerful style.
