The Greatest Play in the History of the World

Featuring Brett Ashley Robinson

Directed by KC MacMillan

“Squashed full of exquisite observation and heartbreaking beauty.”
— Playbill

“If you get the chance to see it, seize it.”
— The Guardian

It’s 4:40 a.m., and time has quite literally stopped — at least for everyone except singletons Tom and Sara and the long-married Forshaws. In the quiet of the very early morning, four neighbors reach out to each other across space, time, and loneliness to find that their universe is bigger than they knew. Told by a single narrator (beloved Philadelphia performer Brett Ashley Robinson), this magical, romantic, and soul-stirring story glows with the enchantments of the holiday season. The Greatest Play in the History of the World… is “a hymn to the joys of love and science fantasy…one of the most charming and dopamine-rich shows you could ever hope to see.” (The Theatre Times)

This installment of A Play, a Pie, and a Pint is presented in co-production with our friends at Inis Nua! Each ticket to the show includes a beer, wine, or soft drink and a savory pie.
