The National Theatre has today released rehearsal images ahead of a new production of Frank Galati’s Tony Award-winning adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath, coming to the Lyttelton theatre from 17 July to 14 September.

Directed by Carrie Cracknell (Julie, The Deep Blue Sea) and based on the acclaimed novel by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath follows the Joad family in the 1930s as they are forced to travel west, embarking on an epic journey across America in the hope of finding work and a new life in California.

The cast includes Tony Award-winner Cherry Jones (The Glass Menagerie, Succession) as matriarch Ma Joad, Harry Treadaway (The Chemistry of Death, Penny Dreadful) as her son Tom Joad and Natey Jones (Small Island, Pretty Red Dress) as Jim Casy.

       

They are joined by Zoë Aldrich, Afolabi Alli, Rhys Bailey, Rachel Barnes, Brandon Bassir, Lin Blakley, Morgan Burgess, Tom Bulpett, Ryan Ellsworth, Amelia Gabriel, Christopher Godwin, Valentine Hanson, Greg Hicks, Harley Johnston, William Lawlor, Mirren Mack, Maimuna Memon, Matthew Romain, Anish Roy, Michael Shaeffer, Robyn Sinclair, Tucker St Ivany, Emma Tracey and Cath Whitefield.

Director Carrie Cracknell has assembled a stellar creative team, including set designer Alex Eales, costume designer Evie Gurney, lighting designer Guy Hoare, movement director Ira Mandela Siobhan, sound designer Donato Wharton, composer Stuart Earl, original songs by Maimuna Memon, music director Osnat Schmool, fight director Kate Waters, casting by Alastair Coomer CDG and Naomi Downham, dramatherapist Patricia Ojehonmon, intimacy coordinator Katharine Hardman for EK Intimacy, dialect coach Hazel Holder, voice coach Shereen Ibrahim, associate sound designer Joe Dines and staff director Georgia Green.
