Two dramas by Sanaz Toossi premiered in the US in 2022. English, about friends in an Iranian classroom, won the Pulitzer prize. But it is the other one, Wish You Were Here, that seems like the real love letter to friendship by the American Iranian playwright.
You do not see or feel the love for a while. Directed by Sepy Baghaei, the drama begins in 1979, with the Iranian Revolution as the backdrop, and plays out over the years of the Islamic Republic until 1991.
