Simple intrigue , if nothing else , made a trip to see a dramatised theatrical adaptation of the classic profound John Steinbeck Novel worth missing a dire display of unimaginative ill-motivated cacophony of over-paid guys being offside on occasion and missing gilt edged chances in between.Watching Celtic is an experience best enjoyed at great distances and preferably well without eyeshot.The best balanced review of the production is this one from the Telegraph.The production is faithful to the plot , especially the ending , though you always get the impression this Book is not transferable , whilst at the same point giving the productions its due in that there will not be any that will better it.So dont be put off if ever it comes your way.
Ma Joad comes across best , and also confirms a feeling ive had for a while she is a counter-balance to the superficial female character that is portrayed in Cormac MacCarthys " The Road".My view has always been in times of grave crisis it is the Mother that will carry the Family through the toughest of crisis and out into the other side.Though i do find both Books are ones of great hope , somewhat counter to those who fine The Road to be a harrowing tale with a pessimistic ending.
