James Macdonald directs the latest work by Pulitzer Prize winner Parks that will officially open March 17 and run through April 4 Off-Broadway.

Marvel (Top Girls, Seascape) stars in the title role, with Cheatom (Signature's Zooman and the Sign) and John Doman ("The Wire").

The Book of Grace, according to press notes, is "a family portrait shattered by issues of rage, revenge, power and betrayal. When a young man returns home to South Texas to confront his father, everyday life erupts into a battle for personal survival. At once fiercely intimate and explosive, The Book of Grace weaves the story of three people bound together by love and longing, passion and ambition."

Designing the production are Eugene Lee (scenic design), Susan Hilferty (costume design), Jean Kalman (lighting design), Dan Moses Schreier (sound design) and Jeff Sugg (projection and video design).

Suzan-Lori Parks is a Pulitzer Prize winner for her play Topdog/Underdog, which was produced at The Public.
