The Editor Recommends... Craig White's "Grace," World Premiere at The Warehouse Theatre, Opens Monday, Oct. 25, through Dec. 19. By Nicholas F. Benton
Craig White is the writer of the acclaimed HBO television series, "Six Feet Under," which should tell you all you need to know. Commissioned for the 25th anniversary season of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre (aka Woolly @ 25), Grace, according to Wright, is "like so many of my plays, about time. He adds, "It's about how religious ideas give people ways to make sense of time. This happens, then that happens, and we try to figure out what the connections are between things. Ideas like God, God's grace, God's providence, karma...these are just ways to mentally connect events and see a form and, sometimes, a benevolent intentionality at work in them. Are they true? No one knows. But do they affect the way we treat each other? Completely."
