Prisoner of Tehran
Based on the best-selling autobiography by Marina Nemat
Adapted by Maja Ardal / Directed by Kelly Thornton
Based on her girlhood in Tehran, when the Ayatollah Khomeini took power, the play chronicles Marina Nemat’s unbelievable journey: imprisoned at aged 16, condemned to death and suddenly, in a twist of fate, granted reprieve. This inconceivable story is a testament to the sheer will and determination of a woman facing her darkest hour and a delicate portrait of youth and stolen dreams.
