Wish You Were Here - Sanaz Toossi

A West Coast Premiere from the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of English.
From Sanaz Toossi, comes a heartfelt, moving play about friendship, identity and resilience.

1978. Protests break out across Iran as five close girlfriends plan weddings, trade dirty jokes and try to live their young lives. As the revolution escalates, each woman is forced to face an uncertain future by staying in Iran or leaving it. In this enlightened comedy, Pulitzer Prize winner and Orange County native Sanaz Toossi chronicles a decade of life, as best friends become friends long lost, searching for the bond that once defined them.
