Arthur Miler’s “Resurrection Blues” to Be Read at Mehregan Theater Complex

Iran Theater-The play "“Resurrection Blues " by Arthur Miller and directed by Seyed Mustafa Mousavi Manesh will be read at Mehregan Auditorium Saturday, August 10, 2019.

Shima Ellahi translated it to farsi. The story is set in an unnamed Latin American country that is painfully third world. The plot revolves around a captured prisoner who may or may not be the second coming of Christ, though Miller deliberately leaves the divinity of his unseen protagonist ambiguous. He is said to be able to perform miracles such as walk through walls, a major problem for the prison guards, and, because of his popularity among the impoverished citizens, the military dictator of the nation has sentenced him to be crucified. This creates many moral dilemmas with the play's cast of characters, which include a wealthy land-owner who is the cousin of the dictator, his depressed daughter—a close friend of the accused—and an American television production team that arrives to broadcast the crucifixion.

Sanaz Rostami will be the narrator. And Raha Asghari, Parsa Puladvand, Mirnadar Mazloomi, Sepideh Dastineh, Saeed Shakeri, Mobin Taheri, Amir Hessam Ghafouri, Yasman Jafari and Mohammad Hassani will do the roles.

The crew: Saeed Shakeri (Assistant Director), Mohammad Hassani (Production Manager), Shima Shami (Secretary of the Stage), Amir Hessam Ghafouri (Music Selection), Ali Yusefnejad and Sahra Noqli (Photographer).
