Nazanin and her friends are on the brink of adulthood. As they prepare for a wedding, outside their living room the Iranian Revolution simmers and threatens to alter the course of their lives. Set over the course of 14 years, Sanaz Toossi’s timely world premiere play, directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, shines a light on the daring potential of friendship amid the relentless aftershocks of political upheaval.

Brilliant performances by all the women it was a very intimate and unique play about the experiences of Iranian women over a period of 13 years when there is big political change in the background with profound impact on their lives- within that these women have an intensity of closeness - a very moving play

Amazing

I’ve never heard such crass and disgusting representations of Iranian women. I had to turn it off after 5 minutes.
This is not in any way truly representative of any Persian people I’ve ever come across.
Abhorrent and misrepresentative of a very polite and old culture.

Disgusting
