Winner of the 2022 Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best New Off Broadway Play, Joshua Harmon’s Prayer for the French Republic bursts onto Broadway after Manhattan Theatre Club’s highly-acclaimed, extended, sold-out Off Broadway run. In 1944, a Jewish couple in Paris desperately awaits news of their missing family. More than 70 years later, the couple’s great-grandchildren find themselves facing the same question as their ancestors: "Are we safe?" This celebrated work by the author of Bad Jews and Significant Other is about history, home and the effects of an ancient hatred. The New York Times calls it "thought-provoking, heart-wrenching and wickedly funny." Directing is David Cromer, a Tony Award winner for The Band's Visit.
