“When I Think About Where I’m From, I Think Of You”
Five friends, three weddings and endless inappropriate jokes. Amongst unibrows, forbidden music and shared wax strips, five women exchange dreams whilst planning their lives together. Playful, intimate and surprisingly naughty, these girlfriends are completely unfiltered behind closed doors. But as unrest in Iran grows, wedding songs are replaced by sirens and protests break out across the country. Futures become uncertain and friendship is threatened as hard choices and emigration pull them apart.
by Sanaz Toossi Directed by Sepy Baghaei
Venue:
@26 Crowndale Road, Camden
The UK premiere of Pulitzer Prize winner Sanaz Toossi’s Wish You Were Here, directed by Sepy Baghaei, charts a decade of sisterhood and platonic love with raw honesty and outrageous humour.
Through political upheaval and drastic change, can their bonds hold strong, or will best friends forever become friends long lost?
“Wish You Were Here” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. On behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
