Written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Sanaz Toossi and directed by Sivan Battat, this play follows Salme and her four best friends as they prepare for her wedding in 1978 Karaj, on the eve of the Iranian Revolution. Over the next decade, everything changes for these tightknit friends, their country, and the futures they find for themselves. Toossi brings her trademark wit and insight to this story of diaspora told from the perspective of those who stay.
