]]> http://www.cornwallculture.co.uk/blog.php?id=31 18th Nov '09 The Grapes of Wrath The Joads, a family of impoverished Oklahoman sharecroppers, lose everything when their farm is repossessed after a devastating drought. Driven from their home to make the monumental trek Westward to California, they invest everything they have in the journey. When forced to face the possibility that California may not after all be the promised land, they have no choice but to go on.
A plea for social justice and compassion and an all too timely examination of a nation in search of itself.
A stellar cast of 20 is led by favourites Christopher Timothy (Doctors, All Creatures Great and Small), Sorcha Cusack (Casualty) and Oliver Cotton.
Adapted by Frank Galati and based on the novel by John Steinbeck.
Free post show talk on Thurs 19 (evening).
