About the Show

Two couples confront grief and forgiveness after violence in Fran Kranz’s Mass.

In a private room inside an Episcopal church, two couples come together to engage in a deeply difficult and emotional conversation shaped by an unthinkable tragedy. As they cautiously share memories, grief, and painful truths, long-held defences begin to fade, allowing them to confront the lasting impact of violence and search for understanding, accountability, and healing. Directed by Carrie Cracknell and written by Fran Kranz, Mass features powerful performances from Adeel Akhtar, Amari Bacchus, Monica Dolan, Paul Hilton, Lyndsey Marshal, and Susie Trayling, delivering a poignant and emotionally charged exploration of loss, forgiveness, and human connection.
