The Epic Saga of Storms, Slavery, Romance &
Redemption Based on The Life of John Newton

Amazing Grace: The True Story is an original musical about the life and trials of John Newton, the former slave-trader who authored one of the world's most recognized songs. Though the words and music of Amazing Grace are instantly recognized, few understand the events and personalities which shaped this stirring piece of testimony and self-examination. Amazing Grace: The True Story traces the life of the adventurous, but emotionally tortured Englishman and follows him through the trials, storms and battles he experienced in the 1740s. His journey to find the meaning of his own existence led him to love, heartbreak and the physical and spiritual perils of the Atlantic slave trade.
