Synopsis
Intimate mysteries unfold through a series of letters between strangers, friends, daughters and lovers – many with little else in common but a hunger for human connection.
Sending their hopes and dreams across oceans and years, they seek peace in one another, while some dream of a city once consumed by the scourge of war.
Letters of Suresh is a companion play to Animals Out of Paper .
Press Reviews
"Letters of Suresh finds its characters in various stages of heartbreak, with no fracture fully healed… The play surveys the near impossibility of connection."
— The New York Times
"Joseph’s writing is as vivid and poetic as ever… [He] creates such intriguing, intelligent characters."
— New York Stage Review
