Shahreh Gheseh – نمایش شهر قصه – San Jose

Theater in Search presents:
SHAHREH GHESEH. A play by Bijan Mofid.

It's a painful tale of characters whose realities are inhibited by enforced practices, values, and superstitions. Created in the narrator's mind's eyes, the characters are accustomed to their own world of trickery and deception. And one day, when a newcomer enters, these characters quickly transform him into their own world — the world of Shahre Gheseh.
One of Iran's most popular plays before the country's 1979 revolution, Shahre Gheseh is being restaged in a theatrical new version. A rare version of an acclaimed play — a work that's both sad and fun, and performed in Farsi!.
