The world premiere of Grace Pervades took place at Theatre Royal Bath in June and July 2025.
The ensemble cast in Bath also included Sharif Afifi, Tom Kanji, Harriet Leitch, Ashley McGuire, Jordan Metcalfe, Jo Mousley, Damian Myerscough, Guy Paul, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Saskia Strallen, and Kathryn Wilder.
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. Ralph Fiennes will play Henry Irving.
The production’s creative team features set designer Bob Crowley, costume designer Fotini Dimou, lighting designer Peter Mumford, sound designer Elizabeth Purnell, composer Paul Englishby, casting director Jessica Ronane CDG, associate director Joe Lichtenstein, and movement director Lucy Cullingford.
Grace Pervades is part of a three-production season for 2025 programmed by actor and director Ralph Fiennes.
The season also included William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, directed by Ralph Fiennes and starring Ian Charleson Award winner Gloria Obianyo (King Lear) as Rosalind and Harriet Walter (The House of Bernarda Alba, Succession) as Jaques.
The final production in the season will be Small Hotel by Oscar-winning writer Rebecca Lenkiewicz, starring Ralph Fiennes.
Grace Pervades is playing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 24 April to 11 July 2026.
