We Had A World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573711992)

A dying woman calls her grandson and asks him to write a play about their family. "But I want you to promise me something," she says. "Make it as bitter and vitriolic as possible." In this searing, funny and deeply personal play, playwright Joshua Harmon recreates 30 years of family fights, monstrous behavior, enormous cruelty and enduring love.
