Description

There was a cliff on the horizon. I didnt know, but then again, maybe I did, and I just didnt want to look. She meets him at an old friends barbecue, ketchup dribbling down her chin, face ruddy from too much beer. He stands away from everyone else, beautiful and aloof. Their stories couldnt be more different, but they flirt, and then they fall in love. Everything is perfect, until it isnt. Or maybe it never was. Ava Wong Daviess new play Graceland was developed as part of an Introduction to Playwriting group at the Royal Court. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at London's Royal Court Theatre, in February 2023.
