“When Hamlet Was Killed” in Tehran

Iran Theater- Masud Tayebi will restage “When Hamlet Was Killed by Macbeth’s Witches” in Tehran.
Tayebi said:” Members of the troupe Mise en Scene are doing rehearsals for the public performances and they are asked to cancel all their other unnecessary social activities to avoid any possible chance of getting infected with coronavirus and decrease the risk of the disease in the group.”
The play is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s popular plays ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Macbeth’.
Tayebi who is also active as a theater instructor said that the formation of a mental and technical structure in an actor requires a good education.
He added:” Before the outbreak of coronavirus, the public education of the students of theater was not satisfactory and the interest of students in university courses such as stage directing and acting were facing decline and this has become worse after the pandemic,”
The play “When Hamlet Was killed by Macbeth’s Witches” was staged at the Iranian Artists Forum earlier in 2017.
Tayyebi has directed numerous plays by Iranian and foreign writers.
In 2016, he staged “Galileo’s Battle” at Molavi Hall in Tehran based on German writer Eugen Bertolt Friedrich Brecht’s “Life of Galileo”.
