The actiing, the story, the actors all were superb. We came from Michigan to see R.F and real theatre. We did. Later, we attended a play in the Theatre Royal in Bath. It was terrible. Acting bad, story so transparent, so contrived. Such a disappointment.

The play Grace Prevails is a phenomenal play on so many levels and with such depth and intensity. It is excellent written and directed. The cast, especially Ralph Fienes was magical and second to none. He is an exceptional gifted artist who is so talented and his performance made the piece shine. I loved it.

It was intriguing theatre of 'the old school' with a refreshing enthusiasm for the English language, intellectual dissection of passion and it was beautifully acted.

A vivid retelling of Henry Irving and Ellen Terry’s partnership, Grace Pervades play in London blends theatre history, human complexity, and rich Victorian intrigue for drama lovers.

Multi-award-winning playwright David Hare (Skylight) leads a team headed by Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List) and acclaimed actor Miranda Raison (Spooks).

Themes of ambition, artistry, and legacy come alive at the stage of Theatre Royal Haymarket to explore how two icons shaped the future of British theatre. Book your tickets to the Grace Pervades play in London.
