‘Saving Grace’ Show Review

And yet another older review… this time for my play ‘Saving Grace’

Saving Grace (was presented along with Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime)
Too Friendly Theatre Company

Saving Grace was indeed a triumph. The performance gripped you until the end with the roller-coaster of emotions portrayed excellently by the three actors involved. The portrayal of Charles was bullish and he brought out the very worst in the character. Conversely John Windsor’s David was full of sadness, remorse and feeling. Helen Haygarth superbly played the part of Grace; she really got under the skin of the character, a mammoth performance that ebbed from sadness to joy, from despair to assertiveness, finally finding true love. Both plays were well staged with a minimal set.  David Kay

 

Saving Grace Gets Great Reviews

I am very, very please to say that my play ‘Saving Grace’ has been getting great reviews since it’s release and I have attached a few below.

“A well constructed play that has a real sense of power and tension; it is obvious that a considerable amount of time has been spent developing the plot and structure of the scenes. The character of Charles is all too believable and real. Grace constantly strives to reconcile her own needs with surviving her husband’s instructions and it was good to see a development in the relationship between Grace and David… The play manages to tread the right line between sentimentality and real emotion…”

Andrew Brereton, Watermill Theatre, Newbury.

” Saving Grace is indeed a triumph… gripped you until the end with a roller coaster of emotions…”

David Kay, National Operatic and Dramatic Association.

“…could not believe how thoroughly the audience enjoyed the play, which is of course half the battle… an interesting balance between drama and sentimentality… some inventive moments in the drama which really bought it away from any cliché… a very, very enjoyable night at the theatre.”

Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.

“A fantastic play and one which I’m not embarrassed to say made me cry.”

Kelly Arrowsmith, TLP
