'Prayer for the French Republic' Uplifts Spirits at the Huntington Theatre 🇫🇷
Stepping into The Huntington Theatre this fall means stepping into 2016 Paris – a time and place at the crossroads of identity, love, and adversity. Between September 7th and October 8th, 2023, audiences have a golden opportunity to experience the play "Prayer for the French Republic," a poignant tale of a family's journey in a city they've come to call home.
An Intimate Glimpse into the Salomon Family
The Salomon family's story is set in Paris, a city universally renowned for its romance, charm, and cosmopolitan allure. Having established their roots in this vibrant city in the tumultuous 1940s, the Salomon family depicts a narrative that is universally resonant, touching upon themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. However, when a cruel twist of fate sees their son attacked for his religious identity, the depths of their attachment to Paris are tested. Can a city they adore reciprocate the same love and acceptance?
A Genius at Work: Joshua Harmon
The man behind this evocative tale is none other than Joshua Harmon. Fresh off the play's New York debut in 2022, "Prayer for the French Republic" is a testament to his capability to weave intricate, moving narratives that pierce the heart and soul. As a testimony to the strength and universality of this tale, the play is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
The Magic of Loretta Greco
Under the expert direction of Artistic Director Loretta Greco, the play promises to be a visceral experience. Greco, no stranger to Harmon's vision, having previously produced a workshop of the play at the Magic Theatre, brings her unique touch to this production.
Prayer for the French Republic" is more than just a play; it's a mirror held up to society, reflecting the universal themes of love, belonging, and the search for acceptance. It serves as a timely reminder that in a world divided by differences, the pursuit of understanding and acceptance remains paramount. Don't miss out on what promises to be a transformative theatre experience at The Huntington Theatre this fall.
