Manhattan Theatre Club’s Off-Broadway production of Prayer for the French Republic, originally scheduled to close February 27, will now play through March 13. Previews began January 13 at New York City Center – Stage I ahead of a star-studded February 1 opening.

Tony winner David Cromer (The Band's Visit) directs the drama from playwright Joshua Harmon (Significant Other, Bad Jews). The play begins in 1944 with a Jewish couple awaiting news of their missing family and examines questions of history, home, and the effects of an ancient hatred on the couple and their descendants.
