Playwright Mohsen Yalfani
Directed by Stuart Carden
Featuring Vincent Mahler, Bettina Rousos, and Madrid St. Angelo
Political idealism, personal desire, and economic pragmatism all wrestle in Mohsen Yalfani’s Guest of a Few Days. Two friends, separated by divergent paths, and the woman who binds them reunite in post-revolutionary Iran. A love triangle ensues amidst painful truths and political fallout, as dreams are rekindled and ridiculed.
