Wonderful World is a play by Richard Dresser that revolves around a close-knit family who is shaken to its core when a minor misunderstanding spirals out of control.

An ambiguously worded dinner invitation triggers hurt feelings and a scorched earth policy of truth telling.

Loyalties shift and relationships are ruthlessly examined, causing family members to confront forbidden sexual attraction, long-ago affairs, debilitating illness, and, finally, a reconfigured family.

The play probes the subterranean forces that nearly tear the family apart, and the mysterious bonds that ultimately hold it together.
