His last play was “Nightmares and Memories of a Bath Attendant about the Life and Murder of Amir Kabir”. Nightmares and Memories of a Bath Attendant about the Life and Murder of Amir Kabir” was selected as the best play of the year in 2016 by Iran’s Critic and Theatrical Writers Society of the Theater Forum.The play, which is about the life story of Mirza Taqi Khan Amir Kabir, the reformist prime minister of Qajar king Nasser ad-Din Shah, was well received by critics and theater goers.

 

The House of Bernarda Alba (Spanish: La casa de Bernarda Alba) is a play by the Spanish dramatist Federico García Lorca. Commentators have often grouped it with Blood Wedding and Yerma as a "rural trilogy". Lorca did not include it in his plan for a "trilogy of the Spanish land" (which remained unfinished at the time of his murder).

 

Lorca described the play in its subtitle as a drama of women in the villages of Spain.

Born in 1938 in Isfahan, Rafiei got a Ph.D. in theater from Sorbonne University in France in 1974. Ali Rafiei is the director of the acclaimed plays “Fox Hunting”, “It Does Not Snow in Egypt”, “Crime and Punishment”, “Blood Wedding”, “The Maids”, and “Nightmares and Memories of a Bath Attendant about the Life and Murder of Amir Kabir”.

 

Rafiei is also the director of two movies, “The Fish Fall in Love” (2006) and “Mr. Yusef” (2011). He previously directed “Blood Wedding” and “Yerma” by Federico García Lorca on stage. His trilogy will be completed by The House of Bernarda Alba.
