Description
Widely regarded as the Shakespeare of Persia, Bahram Beyzaie--playwright, director, screenwriter, and scholar--has made the greatest contribution to modern Persian drama of any individual artist, yet he remains largely unknown to the English-speaking world. In this volume, Richard Saul Chason and Nikta Sabouri have translated for the first time into English Beyzaie's complete Naqqali Trilogy, one of the dramatist's greatest masterpieces and a pinnacle work of twentieth-century world drama.
Blending modes of traditional Iranian storytelling and mythological ritual with contemporary dramatic philosophy and technique, the Naqqali Trilogy is a cycle of three works of mythological revisionism. It celebrates a renaissance of Persian cultural tradition while reframing ancient tales into a modern psychodrama of outcasts and oppression in a land of tyranny and injustice. This volume also includes a detailed introduction that provides background information on Beyzaie, the mythological basis of the plays, the nature of the plays in performance, and on the plays' distinctive employ of the Persian language and the replication of the dramatic prose poetry into an English equivalent.Spécifications
