Last night's reading of the theatrical adaptation of Lisa Moore's short story Grace, from her collection Open, was deftly performed and well attended. The story takes place during a wedding; the characters are pulled into the bridal configuration of ceremony, toasts, veils and celebration. Like a lot of Moore's writing Grace is full of taste and touch, silken vanilla fabric and umbrellas spinning topsy-turvy and velvety red wine. Lots of - what's the word? - verve. Let's hope this work does reach the stage - it's off to a great start.
