We Had a World
February 12 – March 15, 2026
Written by Joshua Harmon (Prayer for the French Republic, Bad Jews)
Directed by Keira Fromm
A dying woman calls her grandson and asks him to write a play about their family. “But I want you to promise me something,” she says. “Make it as bitter and vitriolic as possible.” In this searing, funny, and deeply personal play, the author of Prayer for the French Republic recreates thirty years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enduring love, and unexpected dishes of home-cooked spaetzle.
