“Pacy, scary, dripping with atmosphere.” The Times
“Grace is like a flare of hope in an empty sea.” The Mercury

Grace finds herself pursued by a stalker. He haunts her in cinemas, writes psychotic letters and breaks into her flat. Losing her boyfriend, her job and nearly losing her mind, she flees the city and goes into hiding in a crocodile park in the Kimberley. Meanwhile her father unearths an ancient skeleton that brings into question the very origins of the human race…

Part thriller, part-road movie, part film-noir, this is an epic tale that travels from inner-city Sydney to the Great Sandy Desert. Adapted from the celebrated novel by Robert Drewe, this new theatrical feast is wryly satirical and heartbreakingly moving. GRACE is a gripping story with heart, humour and passion.

With a cast of some of WA’s finest actors including Kirsty Hillhouse in the title role of Grace and George Shevtsov as her bone-collecting father, this will certainly be an event not to be missed.

The UWA Perth International Arts Festival is the oldest annual international multi-arts festival in the southern hemisphere.

Annually it offers some of the world's best theatre, music, film, visual arts, street arts, literature and free community events. No single art genre, concert, performance or exhibition series can cover the breadth of intellectual and imaginative territory as the Perth Festival, nor reach as broadly into the community. For two generations of locals, summer in Perth without the Festival is simply unimaginable.

For over 50 years the Festival has welcomed to Perth some of the world's greatest living artists. The three week long festival, in February of each year, attracts more than 300,000 patrons to events in Perth as well as in the Great Southern region.

The UWA Perth International Arts Festival is a captivating and intriguing spectacle of the arts, a truly compelling experience for visitors from all walks of life.
