Another great review from one of our patrons who saw the show this weekend, Michael Binder! Thanks Michael! Check it out below and then grab tickets for one of our final 2 shows!
Grace is a very dark, intense, powerful drama and also to some extent a psychological thriller. If I tell you that at the end of the play all protagonists are shot dead I'm not spoiling anything, because this is in fact the opening scene of the play. In a unique twist the playwright gives away the ending right at the beginning, so instead of being on the edge of your seat wondering how it's going to end, you're on the edge of your seat wondering why it ends this way, which is every bit as exciting. At its core the play touches issues of personal belief, it explores the nature of faith, what makes people believe or not believe. The protagonists of the play go through very fundamental personal experiences that shatter their belief systems, and at the end everything has changed, nothing is the way it started out. Some go from total faith to hopeless desperation, while others find a glimpse of, well, grace, just before they die. This is a fine production of a very powerful play, well worth seeing.
