Kavi Ladnier and Sendhil Ramamurthy will star in the world premiere of Rehana Lew Mirza's Hatef**k, presented by WP Theater in partnership with Colt Coeur. Adrienne Campbell-Holt directs the work, which runs March 3-31 at WP Theater.

Hatef**k features scenic design by Anshuman Bhatia, costume design by Sarita Fellows, lighting design by Barbara Samuels, and sound design by Joanna Lynne Staub.

The two-character play is described as follows: "Passions ignite when Layla, an intense literature professor, accuses Imran, a brashly iconoclastic novelist, of trading in anti-Muslim stereotypes. But as their attraction grows into something more, they discover that good sex doesn't always make good bedfellows."
