Shakespeare in Tehran is a personal history of Iran through the
eyes of an award-winning Iranian American artist. Drawing on
parallels between life and the stage, it uses A Midsummer Night’s
Dream as a roadmap to explore social, political, economic and
cultural aspects of Iran before and after the revolution of 1979.
Through first person accounts, interspersed with emotional
reflections of the universal human experience, it delves into the
historical and sociological context of a divided country.
Storytelling, flashbacks, and flashforwards make paint an intimate
picture of public life in Iran in a time of uncertainty.
Accessible, engaging and nuanced, this volume will be of interest
to scholars and researchers of politics, history, theatre and
performance studies, and West Asian studies.
