What’s Prayer for the French Republic Like?
In 1944, a Jewish couple in Paris desperately await 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?"
The play follows five generations of a French-Jewish family. Prayer for the French Republic is a sweeping look at history, home and the effects of an ancient hatred.
