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 MTC’s highly acclaimed extended, sold-out Off-Broadway run. A celebrated work by the author of Bad Jews and Significant Other, which The Wall Street Journal calls "easily the finest play of the Broadway season." The Chicago Tribune calls Prayer for the French Republic "gripping and epic," and New York Stage Review gives it five stars, stating "Prayer packs a wallop." Directing is David Cromer, a Tony Award® winner for The Band's Visit.

The Roy Cockrum Foundation

Prayer for the French Republic is made possible in part by a generous grant from The Roy Cockrum Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to award grants to support world-class performing arts projects in not-for-profit professional theaters throughout the United States.

Additional support provided by Jayne Baron Sherman and by Rebecca Gold.
Prayer for the French Republic was commissioned by MTC through the Bank of America New Play Program.
