For The Grace Of You Go I (NHB Modern Plays)

By Alan Harris

Jim's writing messages. In pepperoni. On top of pizzas.
His life is going nowhere. But after watching the film I Hired A Contract Killer, Jim's found a solution – he'll just put out a hit on himself. What could possibly go wrong?
Alan Harris's play For The Grace Of You Go I is a darkly funny, quick-witted, fast-moving comedy. It premiered at Theatr Clwyd, Mold, in June 2021, directed by James Grieve.
