Grace

Simply stated: Outstanding. The writing (Mick Gordon and AC Grayling)... the performance... basically the entire kit and kabodle. Top Notch. Grace gets my vote for most thought provoking play of the year.

Lynn Redgrave and the entire cast - Philip Goodwin, Oscar Isaac, and K.K. Moggie put on a stellar performance literally 10 seconds before the lights to up (Lynn has a line in the dark!) to the moment they came out for a bow. Simply stated: Suburb!

Without being overly preachy (despite the fact that we were being literally lectured to) this play presents compelling arguments for and against religion. Go see it and you can decide for yourself how you feel.

Just don't let the pope tell you what to think beforehand.
