Meet the Cast of CLICK Premiering at The Tank NYC

The producers of Click, a new noir play written by Drew Pisarra and directed by James Dean Palmer are proud to announce its up-and-coming cast: Mohammad Saleem (Del), Saman Peyman (Oona), and Shuga Ohashi (Clare). Inspired by the late film auteur Jean-Luc Godard's breakthrough movie Breathless, this whirlwind thriller spies on two wayward kids who find themselves in over their heads while negotiating the drop-off of a mysterious package with a menacing negotiator -- in a universe where telephone booths still exist.
