Visit

  • Directed by Parsa Pirouzfar, new play The Visit has gone on stage in the City Theater of Tehran until 21 May. The Visit is a 1956 tragicomic play by Swiss dramatist Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

In exchange, she will provide enough money to revitalize the decrepit town. The townspeople eventually agree.
