REVIEWS

"Rich in symbolism and substance a significant achievement" ~ Chicago Tribune

"Steinbeck's novel, in [an] adaptation by Frank Galati, is an intriguing combination of Old Testament severity and new-fangled Freudian analysis, with a nature-versus-nurture overlay. A story of the catastrophic relationship between a man who loved blindly, and a woman incapable of loving anyone" ~ Chicago Sun-Times

"Galati brilliantly emphasizes sibling rivalry, family secrets and the struggle to be good [He] indulges us with short scenes that are engrossing, well-paced and captivating" ~ Northwest Herald
