Casting Complete for Grace, Starring Lynn Redgrave

Casting is complete for MCC Theater's forthcoming American premiere production of Grace, starring Lynn Redgrave. The play, written by Mick Gordon and A.C. Grayling and directed by Joseph Hardy, will begin performances at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on January 23 and open on February 11. The limited engagement continued through March 8. Joining Redgrave will be Philip Goodwin, Oscar Isaac and K.K. Moggie.

An acclaimed hit at London's Soho Theater, Grace examines familial intimacy, seen through the distorting lens of disparate theological perspectives. Grace Friedman is a mother, a wife and a brilliant professor. Her bold assertions on the "absurdity" of religion have propelled her to center stage in the public debate over the existence of God. But Grace's private calm is severely shaken when her son, Tom Isaac, announces a career change from civil rights attorney to priest. When Grace falls back on her well-worn cynicism, she is suddenly at odds with the moral pragmatism of her husband, Tony Goodwin, and Tom's fiancée, Ruth Moggie. Together, the family must strive to reconcile their ideological differences as they tumble toward a personal catastrophe.

Goodwin's Broadway credits include Tartuffe, The Diary of Anne Frank and The School for Scandal. Off-Broadway credits include King Lear, Macbeth, Pericles, Hamlet, Cymbeline, Celebration, Pericles, Henry VI, Troilus and Cressida, Mud and Drowning, The Trestle at Pope Lick Creek and A Light Shining in Buckinghamshire.
