An Act of Grace by John Muggleton
Director: Julian Mulock
Producers: Emily Merigioli and Naomi Knight
Performance Dates: Jan 23 to Feb 7, 2026
Grace has sent handwritten letters to two men, CHUCK and TONY, who are somewhat acquainted, inviting them to her house. She lures them with the offer of lucrative payments for their professional services, CHUCK as a financial advisor, TONY as a lawyer. As the evening progresses, it gradually becomes clear that she has a very different, and very frightening service in mind. This is a psychological thriller – there is very little action, the tension is all in the spoken word.
