Directed by Mina Morita, the play—an emotionally-absorbing drama with sprinkled bits of comedy—is, at its core, a poignant exploration of deep friendships, colored by a devotion to cultural and religious identity and the fears of displacement and upheaval set against the backdrop of Iran's political turmoil in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The article from BroadwayWorld reviews the production of "Wish You Were Here" at South Coast Repertory, highlighting its poignant exploration of themes like loss, memory, and the passage of time. The play, set in a beach house, revolves around a family gathering to scatter their mother's ashes, which triggers a series of flashbacks and reflections on past summers. The reviewer praises the ensemble's performances, particularly noting the emotional depth brought by the actors playing the siblings, who navigate through grief, nostalgia, and unresolved family dynamics. The set design effectively captures the essence of a lived-in, memory-laden space, enhancing the play's atmosphere. The direction is commended for its sensitivity in handling the delicate balance between humor and heartache, making the production a touching tribute to the complexities of familial love and the bittersweet nature of memories.
