REVIEWS:

"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."

 The Guardian

"Captures the smug sanctimony and robotic cheerfulness of those who have turned religion into big business."
