We Had a World Tickets

Get We Had a World tickets and see the newest play from Tony Award nominee Joshua Harmon, the acclaimed author of Bad Jews, Admissions, and Prayer for the French Republic. We Had a World plays at Manhattan Theatre Club in a world premiere production starring Joanna Gleason (Tony Award winner for Into the Woods) and Drama Desk nominee Jeanine Serralles (Gloria). Obie Award winner Trip Cullman (Choir Boy, Unknown Soldier) directs this limited run off Broadway at New York City Center Stage II. We Had a World tickets will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.

How crazy is your family? Experience the uproarious comedy We Had a World off Broadway to find out if it compares to the one on stage. In Harmon’s new play, a dying grandmother calls her grandson with a request: write a play about their family. Sounds sweet enough, but there’s a caveat: “But I want you to promise me something,” she says. “Make it as bitter and vitriolic as possible.”

A scathing but deeply personal play unfolds in which no one is left off the hook. In the process, three decades of family feuds, enormous cruelty, and persisting love take the writer to the page, only for that same behavior to be reflected back on the stage.

Stage and screen actors Gleason (Heartburn, Hannah and Her Sisters) and Serralles (Verite, Stunning) star in this bracing new play from a writer known for his explosive monologues and family drama. A clever playwright with eviscerating characters, Harmon is the prized author of Significant Other, Skintight, and other works that have made him a 2024 Guggenheim Fellow, Drama Desk Award winner, and Lortel nominee. See his newest play and prepare to meet a family like no other — tickets to We Had a World in New York will be available soon.
