Wish You Were Here

A co-production with Seda Iranian Theatre Ensemble

Wish You Were Here by Sanaz Toossi 

June 11 – July 5 

With tenderness, ferocity, and wit, five best friends lean on each other in the face of uncertainty.  Spanning 13 years of friendship, a tight-knit group of women have their bonds tested as political unrest spreads through Iran. With humor and urgency, the play captures the fierce resilience of connection when everything else is slipping away. 

“It’s a script of harrowing beauty. A triumphant mosaic of friendship and loss framed by the heart-wrenching effects of political upheaval.” – Broadway World UK 

“A love letter to friendship.” – The Guardian
