A Theatre Royal Stratford East production
Martina Cole’s The Graft
11th February to 12th March
Adapted for the stage by Patrick Prior
Directed by Ryan Romain
"In Essex what goes around comes around..."
Nick Leary didn't have the easiest start in life with far from the perfect upbringing. But after years of hard graft, Nick and his childhood sweetheart have finally got it made. When an intruder breaks into their Essex home, Nick and Tammy's lives are turned upside down when Nick kills the young man in order to protect his family and possessions.
Following last year's sell-out production of Two Women, Theatre Royal Stratford East stages its second adaptation of a Martina Cole novel, one of this country's most successful writers of crime fiction. Worldwide sales for Martina Cole's novels have now reached 10 million copies. Martina's most recent novels - The Family, Hard Girls, The Business, Faces, Close and The Take have all gone straight to No.1 in the Sunday Times Hardback Fiction Bestseller list.

In her latest novel, Martina tells the story
of Nick Leary - devoted father, loyal friend and shrewd
businessman - and what happens when a masked intruder
breaks into his home.... In her unique style, Martina
Cole holds up a mirror to our society, writing about tough
and often harrowing subjects in a brutally honest and
compassionate way. Her characters are injected with sympathy
and warmth and there is an honesty in her books that speaks
to millions of people.
