ABOUT THE SHOW
In "WE HAD A WORLD" 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, author of "Prayer for the French Republic" Joshua Harmon recreates thirty years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enduring love, and unexpected dishes of home-cooked spaetzle.
