The play centres on Christian sweethearts Sara and Steve, who have decided to move from their comfortable life in Minnesota to take up a lucrative business opportunity in Florida.However, Steve’s plan starts to unwind taking his Christian sensabilities with it, while Sara finds herself helplessly drawn to their captivating, atheist neighbour Sam. What follows is a story of the human condition and how far from grace one can fall.
With its poetic language and manipulations of time and space, Grace is an examination of humanity under pressure – where ambitions for godliness and selflessness are contradicted by the ever-human need for mortal reassurance.
