Synopsis:

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, playwright Joshua Harmon recreates 30 years of family fights, monstrous behavior and enduring love.

We Had a World premiered off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club on February 25, 2025. The production featured Joanna Gleason , Andrew Barth Feldman, and Jeanine Serralles. It was followed by a run in Boston at the Wimberly Theatre before premiering in the UK at the Hampstead Theatre , where it ran from May to July 2026.

Director Frank Foster seeks two actors to play the roles of Ellen and Joshua. The role of Renee has been cast and will be played by Julie Fulcher-Davis (AEA)
