An Inis Nua & Tiny Dynamite co-production for the holidays!

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)
