Tehran theater to host “Stones in His Pockets” in September

TEHRAN,July 21(MNA) -- Actor/director Parsa Piruzfar will stage Irish playwright and actress Marie Jones’ “Stones in His Pockets” at Hall No. 1 of the Iranshahr Theater Complex in Tehran on September 9. The two-hander play will be performed by Piruzfar and Reza Behbudi. It has been translated into Persian by Piruzfar. The story concerns two Irishmen who are working as extras in a movie being made by a Hollywood studio in County Kerry. They slowly tell the story of the effect this has upon the local community and especially upon the young man Sean Harkin and his family. After the unfortunate suicide of Sean Harkin the studio has to decide between either allowing the extras to attend the funeral or to continue shooting in order to avoid going over budget. Piruzfar staged American playwright David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross” at the Iranshahr Theater Complex in 2011. It was warmly received by theatergoers. He also directed French dramatist Yasmina Reza’s “Art” in 2001.
