SQUAD Productions are excited to announce “GRACE”, the first of a trilogy of radio plays written and directed by Robert Downes.
Grace loves a night out…but not in this shit-hole.
Prepare to be thrilled, blood to be spilled, and your innocence killed by Grace, a campy horror radio play by Robert Downes, produced by SQUAD Productions.
The story centres around Grace, who is on a badly-needed night out for her friend’s ‘coming-out party’. (Which is not a thing…what a hobgoblin…)
Follow Grace through the night, hear her evil, terrifying thoughts that will leave you wondering, “how does this girl even have friends?”.
GRACE is the cheapest night out you’ll ever go on. For only €3 you can listen to SQUAD’s spookiest play yet, available at Ko-fi.com/squad from 31st October (Ages 18+).
SQUAD Productions is a socially conscious theatre company that aims to create new work through collaboration and new techniques with new and emerging Irish artists. GRACE was produced entirely over Zoom, with members of the production team and cast based in Dublin, Limerick, Galway, Meath and Donegal.
