Grace

A far-reaching, comic portrait of the effects of hypocrisy and corporate greed on the values of late-twentieth-century England. Deep in the English countryside, Ruth Hartstone has reluctantly decided to sell the family estate to an American religious outfit with plans to turn it into a Christian leisure and satellite broadcasting complex.  Doug Lucie's play Grace was first staged at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 1993. 'Grace is nothing less than a Cherry Orchard for our times... an investigation not only into the price at which Britain is currently being sold but also into the cost' Sheridan Morley'A first-rate comedy. A thunderingly good play' Guardian'Captures the smug sanctimony and robotic cheerfulness of those who have turned religion into big business' Daily Telegraph

Ideal for readers interested in literature & poetry.
