Frank Galati’s spectacular, multi-Tony Award-winning dramatic masterpiece 'The Grapes of Wrath' brought a raw, physically massive adaptation of John Steinbeck’s epic American novel to the Cort Theatre in 1990, capturing Best Play. The sprawling narrative chronicles the harrowing migration of the Joad family as they flee the environmental ruins and bank foreclosures of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl to seek agricultural employment in California, navigating a brutal landscape of corporate greed and migrant worker exploitation. Directed by Galati for the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, the production starred Gary Sinise, Lois Smith, and Terry Kinney.
