"...moving, inventive production..." (The New York Times)
Using Steinbeck's classic novel The Grapes of Wrath as a narrative backbone, HOUSE/DIVIDED tells contemporary tales of foreclosure by following economic refugees and migrants from two different American eras. Steinbeck's Joad family moves along the great Dust Bowl migration, while a contemporary house rooted to its site-yet connected to a web of global finance and investment-becomes a container for stories from the current, evolving crisis. HOUSE/DIVIDED explores the changing meaning of home, homelessness, and place both in the present moment and in the broader context of the American mythos.
