TEHRAN -- A theater troupe, directed by Mohammad Rahmanian, performed a reading of “Memoirs of the Actor in a Supporting Role” at the Niavaran Cultural Center on Sunday night.
The play has been written by Bahram Beizaii, the prominent Iranian director and playwright who lives in the United States.
“Beizaii said hello to all of you and wishes you good health and happiness,” said Rahmanian addressing the audience before the beginning of the reading performance.
Ali Omrani, Mahtab Nasirpur, Ashkan Khatibi, Ali Sarabi, Hooman Barqnavard, Ramin Nasser-Nasir, Bahram Ebrahimi and Maral Bani-Adam were among the cast of the play.
Harmonica player Babak Safarnejad and percussionist Saber Jafari accompanied the troupe with live music.
The play, which was published in 1981 in Iran, tells the story of two village men who move to Tehran to start a new life. They meet a woman called Belqeys who offers them work as mercenaries for some officials in different political and social situations.
