On the heels of their collaboration on Prayer for the French Republic, Theater Wit Artistic Director Jeremy Wechsler continues his celebrated collaboration with playwright Joshua Harmon with the Chicago premiere of We Had a World. When a dying woman calls her grandson and asks him to write a play about their family — with a caveat that he make it "as bitter and vitriolic as possible" — what unfolds is a searing, funny, and deeply personal recreation of thirty years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enormous cruelty, and enduring love.
