Arash Taherkhani is to bring ‘Measure for Measure’ a play by William Shakespeare on the stage at Molavi Theater.
The work is believed to have been written in 1603 or 1604. The play’s main themes include justice, mercy, and the dichotomy between corruption and purity.
It centers on the fate of Claudio, who is arrested by Lord Angelo, the temporary leader of Vienna. Angelo is left in charge by the duke of Vienna, who pretends to leave town but instead dresses as a friar to observe what is going on in his absence.
Ziba Bideh, Javad Pouladi, Milad Changi, Mahour Darabzadeh and Shohreh Saeedi-Baqa are in the cast, Tiwall.com wrote.
The play, which is being performed for the first time in Iran, will be staged from November 20 till December 11 at the venue located at No. 16, 16th Azar St., Enqelab St.
