Imagine being 29 and unable to leave your country. Nassim Soleimanpour dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play from Iran. Forbidden to travel, he turns his isolation to his own advantage with a play that requires no director, no set, and a different actor for every performance.
Winner of the Outstanding New Performance Text Award at SummerWorks and a 2011 Arches Brick Award in Edinburgh.
