The Grapes of Wrath
by Frank Galati based on the novel by John Steinbeck

Director Tony Casement | Designer Dawn Allsopp

Forced to leave their failing crops in the dust bowls of Oklahoma, the impoverished Joad family journeys, with millions of others, hundreds of miles across America. They are following a dream they have seen painted on a handbill - the promise of plentiful jobs fruit-picking in the sunnier climes of California and the chance of a better life.

Their epic story of migration and discovery reveals a much harsher reality as the powerful and the powerless collide.

Directed by Tony Casement (Journey’s End, The Promise), with a huge cast of Company favourites, The Grapes of Wrath captures a turbulent moment in American history and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1940.

The Mercury Theatre Company production of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men in 2005 was a huge success. Early booking is recommended!
£8.50 - £19.50. Concesions available
