Described by The Sunday Times as “a first-rate satire—thoughtful, tough and incisive,” GRACE is a wickedly funny attack on American evangelism and the business-minded spread of the Gospel.
The action of the play occurs on a rambling estate deep in the English countryside where a miraculous event allegedly occurred forty years earlier. The estate is about to be purchased by Enterprise Faith, an American religious outfit, and turned into a Christian leisure and Satellite Broadcasting Complex from which to spread the Word throughout Europe.
HTC's production of GRACE is an Australian premiére.
SEASON: 1st —18th May 2002
AUDITIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY and will be held at the theatre on
