The World To Come
About The Event
The World to Come is a surprising new epic that reveals how powerful friendship can be as a form of resistance. The residents of the SeaBreeze Hebrew Home for the Aging carry on as usual: knitting, playing Scrabble, fighting, and falling in love. As the apocalyptic outside world threatens their way of life, Fanny, Barbara, Ruth, and Hal fight to protect the community they’ve built together. Even while battling armored nurses, a wild ostrich, strange prophecies, and their ailing bodies, they find joy in each other’s company.
Crafted playwright Ali Viterbi — winner of the 2019 National Jewish Playwriting Contest — the play brings together some of DC’s greatest performers that will grace the stage with warmth, heartbreak and the sheer will to protect each other, even as the outside world crumble.
