Photos: WE HAD A WORLD Celebrates Opening Night

The world premiere of We Had A World, written by Tony Award nominee Joshua Harmon and directed by Tony Award nominee Trip Cullman just celebrated its opening night at Manhattan Theatre Club. Check out photos from inside the big night here!

We Had A World features Andrew Barth Feldman, Tony Award winner Joanna Gleason, and Drama Desk Award nominee Jeanine Serralles. We Had A World is MTC’s first production at NY City Center Stage (ii) since the pandemic shutdown began.

A dying woman (Gleason) calls her grandson (Feldman) 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 last season's Tony Award-nominated Prayer for the French Republic recreates thirty years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enormous cruelty, and enduring love.
