SYNOPSIS
It is 1987. Princess Diana’s landmark visit to a London AIDS ward has sparked worldwide 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 play Moment of Grace tells how the Princess’s visit brought critical attention to AIDS awareness through empathy and acts of kindness.

Multiple 4- & 5-star press reviews!

“Moment of Grace offers a well-rounded examination on the many different reactions to the AIDS crisis.”
Love London Love Culture

“Rich in testimonial memory, the play itself serves as a powerful ode to those who lived through the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s. This is its greatest strength and what I would argue is the greatest reason to watch Moment of Grace.”
Vada Magazine

“Moment of Grace is beautiful, full of both redemption and suffering.”

SYNOPSIS
AMIR is twenty-one, an immigrant to London with a war torn past. Flashbacks are undermining his ability to hold down his job as
a Walthamstow street sweeper, when he encounters ROLAND, forty, and British Jamaican, an amateur basketball enthusiast. Roland, a surveyor for the Council, has escaped a Pentecostal community in Brixton, and a failed relationship with SHIRL to live openly as a gay
man. He has a fifteen-year-old son, GARY, who has allegedly assaulted another pupil at school. We watch as Amir attempts to overcome his fear of trusting others when Roland offers him
first friendship, then sex. Their affair deepens, yet Amir remains secretive about his past, and struggles to identify as gay. Things come to a head when the pair visit a gay bar in Soho. Roland is forced to question their relationship, because of Amir’s secrecy and their differences in age and culture. And who is Muzaffar, the name Amir repeatedly shouts out during
frequent nightmares? Meanwhile, Gary hates his new stepdad and wants to come and live with Roland. Roland fears he will lose his son or his lover or both. As tension builds between the two lovers, Gary turns up unexpectedly at Roland’s flat, and confronts Amir about his intentions. Roland challenges Gary about
his behaviour at school, and at last Gary turns in a shocking revelation, which sheds new light on everything.
