Kurosh Sasanian will direct a reading of Swiss writer Friedrich Durrenmatt’s 1969 play “Play Strindberg” at Tehran’s Sangelaj Theater on July 15 to commemorate the late prominent Iranian stage director and playwright, Hamid Samandarian, who translated the play into Persian in 1972.
Sasanian, Behzad Khodaveisi and Elena Ahi are the members of the cast for the play.
“Play Strindberg” is a free adaptation of August Strindberg’s “The Dance of Death”, using Strindberg’s characters.
The comedy play is about a couple, Alice and Edgar, who are disappointed by their careers, children and life, until Alice’s cousin Kurt arrives after a 15-year absence.
