Now onstage at The National Theatre is a new production of Frank Galati’s Tony Award-winning adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath, based on the novel by John Steinbeck, directed by Carrie Cracknell. Check out photos of the cast in action!

The piece is heavy in topic and method, but Carrie Cracknell’s quiet direction smooths out the nearly three hours of running time. It’s by any means not an easy-breezy show to experience, but it sinks into your soul in a way that only an epic does. The problem is that it’s so, so slow. 

The National Theatre will soon present a new production of Frank Galati’s Tony Award-winning adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath. In this video, watch a trailer for the new production.

Awards were presented tonight in 37 categories including outstanding actors, directors, designers, choreographers, musicians, productions and 4 visiting productions by the Boston Theater Critics Association (BTCA) at the 41st Annual Elliot Norton Awards ceremony, held at the Huntington Theatre in Boston.

The past may not always be the best indicator of the future, but accolades of years past provide interesting insight nonetheless.
