Would you have risked everything to challenge ignorance about AIDS? It's 1987. Princess Diana's landmark visit to a London AIDS ward has sparked world-wide interest, camera crews and a televised interview. But AIDS remains taboo. Even being seen to work on this ward could cost you everything. To change public misconceptions, would you risk it? Told through the eyes of Jude, a nurse on the ward, Andrew, a patient, and Donnie, a fireman estranged from his son, this ground-breaking new play Moment of Grace tells how the Princess's visit brought critical attention to AIDS awareness through empathy and acts of kindness. Based on the original play by Bren Gosling.
