The Book of Grace archivePulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks' visceral family portrait reveals a divided nation. "Sometimes the alien is right in your own home. Sometimes right in your own blood. And you've got to build a wall around it." Grace lives with her husband Vet, a patrol officer on the Texas-Mexico border. When Vet is awarded a medal for his service, Grace invites his estranged son Buddy to join them at the ceremony. But Buddy arrives armed with resentment, an agenda and (several) hand grenades. Can Grace heal the rift, and contain the threat? Suzan-Lori Parks'explosive 2010 play gains timely new resonance as the world watches its own borders. Award-winning director Femi Elufowoju jr directs the UK premiere.
