About the show
Ralph Fiennes gives 'the performance of a true star – focused, luminous, magnetic' as Sir Henry Irving, the greatest actor of the Victorian age, in David Hare's new play about Irving and Ellen Terry. Fresh from a sell-out season at Theatre Royal Bath.
What is Grace Pervades about?
Grace Pervades tells the extraordinary story of Henry Irving and Ellen Terry, the greatest stars of the Victorian stage, and Ellen's troubled and brilliant children – Edith Craig and Edward Gordon Craig – who made their own profound contribution to the development of British theatre.
For Irving the drama was everything. For Terry it was incidental to the richness of her life. Their celebrated partnership – on and off the stage – changed the theatre forever. Book Grace Pervades tickets at Theatre Royal Haymarket!
