The opening production of The Ralph Fiennes/Theatre Royal Bath Season sees Ralph Fiennes play opposite Miranda Raison (Spooks, Anne Boleyn, The Winter's Tale) in the world premiere of David Hare's new play, Grace Pervades.
Directed by Jeremy Herrin, Grace Pervades tells the extraordinary story of Henry Irving (Ralph Fiennes) and Ellen Terry (Miranda Raison), 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.
The cast also includes Sharif Afifi, Tom Kanji, Harriet Leitch, Helena Lymbery, Jordan Metcalfe, Jo Mousley, Damian Myerscough, Guy Paul, Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Saskia Strallen and Kathryn Wilder.
Co-produced with Second Half Productions.
The world class creative team is packed with multi-Olivier and Tony Award winners, with Bob Crowley (set designer), Fotini Dimou (costume designer), Peter Mumford (lighting designer), Elizabeth Purnell (sound designer), Akhila Krishnan (video designer), Paul Englishby (composer) and Lucy Cullingford (movement director).
