Rajiv Joseph's Letters of Suresh officially opened October 12 at Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theatre Off-Broadway. Originally slated for an October 4 opening, a positive COVID case in the cast forced a week of canceled performances and a delayed opening. Previews began September 14.
The production is directed by May Adrales and stars Ali Ahn, Ramiz Monsef, Kellie Overbey, and Thom Sesma as the residents of a war-torn city as they seek peace through a series of notes that reveal a hunger for human connection. Letters of Suresh is a companion piece to Joseph’s play Animals Out of Paper.
