The Book of Grace; Suzan-Lori Parks' fierce and intimate three-person drama, a companion piece to her Pulitzer Prize-winning play Topdog/Underdog.
Press Reviews
"An incredibly gripping and crucial piece of theatre."
— Broadway World UK
"The Book of Grace offers further evidence that Suzan-Lori Parks thinks big even when she thinks small… The family portrait she paints here is nothing less than a map of a nation that is divided within itself and poised to fall… This play is infused with an exciting emotional ambiguity that transforms its characters into people of splendidly confused humanity."
— Ben Brantley, New York Times
"Suzan-Lori Parks has laid out the conflicts among these characters with such economy and clarity that they run like a taut steel cord throughout the play; it’s as lean and direct a drama as she’s written."
— Robert Faires, Austin Chronicle
"This is an incredibly accomplished piece of theatre, addressing so many of the themes that are pertinent in the current political environment."
— The Spy in the Stalls
"The script of Suzan-Lori Parks carries profound psychological depth."
— Theatre Weekly
