Description

A wide-ranging collection of plays from new and established voices from Iran and the Iranian diaspora, translated into English. Topics range from a jazz tour of Iran in 1963, to the desperate hopes of women in a time of revolution, to the struggle to create a new life abroad where beliefs and attitudes are tested, and in verbatim testimony, we explore the lives of boat people. those migrants fleeing war who have become trapped in a migrant camp on a small island in the Pacific.

These plays newly translated into English reveal the hearts and minds of Iranian people and offer six fascinating, new and original plays to perform. With an overview of Iranian Theatre by Nazanin Sahamizadeh.
