TEHRAN – Tehran’s Khark Gallery is playing host to a theater troupe performing American playwright David Mamet’s “Cryptogram”.
 
“We chose Khark, because the stage set of the gallery is well suited for performing the play,” director/actor Ali Baqeri said in press release on Saturday.
 
He referred to the difficulties Iranian troupes have in finding a theater in which to perform their plays and added, “Moreover, we were not certain whether we could perform the play in a theater or not.”
 
Shayan Javaherian and Fatemeh Fakhraii also star in the play.
 
“The Cryptogram” is a 1995 play that concerns the moment when childhood is lost. 
 
The story of the play is set in 1959 on the night before a young boy is to go on a camping trip with his father.
 
The play will be performing until March 18. The gallery is located at 61 Khark St., south of Enqelab Ave.
