Williamstown Theatre Festival and Audible Theater have announced casting for the world premiere of Wish You Were Here, along with release dates for the final three productions in the season.

Sanaz Toossi’s Wish You Were Here is directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, and will feature Nikki Massoud, Marjan Neshat, Nazanin Nour, Artemis Pebdani, and Roxanna Hope Radja.

Nazanin (Marjan Neshat) and her friends are on the brink of adulthood. As they prepare for a wedding, outside their living room the Iranian Revolution simmers and threatens to alter the course of their lives. Set over the course of 14 years, Sanaz Toossi’s timely world premiere play shines a light on the daring potential of friendship amid the relentless aftershocks of political upheaval.

The final three productions in the WTF 2020 season on Audible are Paradise Blue by Dominique Morisseau on 25 March, followed by Wish You Were Here on 1 April, and world premiere of new musical Row by Daniel Goldstein and Dawn Landes on 8 April.

The other four titles in the season are available now within the Audible Plus catalogue, featuring A Streetcar Named DesirePhotograph 51Animals, and Chonburi International Hotel & Butterfly Club.
