The Bryn Mawr Club of New York has reserved a block of orchestra seats for a matinée showing of the acclaimed Prayer for The French Republic – a timely drama set in Paris in which five generations of a Jewish family grapple with the need to hold on to each other, as they continue to reel from historic persecutions that are shockingly too familiar. Directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer and 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 is a crackling tour de force bringing to the stage one family’s need for connection amidst growing antisemitic threats in Paris.
The show has a run time of three hours with two intermissions so afterwards we will be hungry for conversation and food! Let us know if you would like to join us a block away for dinner at French Restaurant Le Marais at 6pm.
