Forgiveness

In 2011 Chris McGlade’s father was murdered. Instead of blaming and desiring vengeance against his father’s killer, he soon after decided to forgive the killer. As a Catharsis to get through his grief, Chris wrote a poem "Blood Beneath your Nails" which led to his creation of a one man comedy show that has changed the lives of ordinary working class people in a profound way. Ask yourself, Could you forgive your father's murderer? and then be prepared to be blown away.
