Rahmanian Will Direct Stage Reading of Beyzaei’s Play
TEHRAN.(Iranart) – R enowned theater director and playwright, Mohammad Rahmanian, will direct a stage reading of ‘Afra,’ a play based on a namesake screenplay by acclaimed playwright, theater and film director Bahram Beyzaei.
Although Afra, also known as ‘The Day Passes’, is a realistic story, it can also be considered an allegorical story since each character represents a social class, ISNA reported.
The story is centered on a young female teacher named ‘Afra’ from a low-income family whose mother works as a servant for Badr ol-Molok, a rich woman. One day when Afra goes to the house to stand in for her mother, Badr ol-Molok and her son trump up a story and charge Afra of stealing from their house.
Hamid Amjad, Ali Omrani, Mahtab Nassirpour, Houman Barq-Navard, Afshin Hashemi, Roya Bakhtiari, Ehsan Karami and Sania Salari will be reading the roles for the performance.
The piece is set to go on stage at Paliz Theater House, located at No. 69, Sepand St., Azodi St., Karimkhan Ave. on March 10.
