About the Play:
“Dash Akol enters a house where the man of the house, on his deathbed, makes him its protector! Is the house under his protection—or is he under the protection of this house?
‘Dash Akol, According to Marjan’ is a journey into the short story by Sadegh Hedayat titled ‘Dash Akol’ (first published in 1311/1932), a search for retrieving what he left unsaid! This time, his story is seen from the prism of the girl of the house—Marjan—and from what she has seen or heard, from near or afar—what is simultaneously and mirror-like also the story of Marjan herself, and the story of this house where she was born, and the story of the central figure of this story and this house, her mother, Mahbanoo—whom Dash Akol belatedly realizes has the same main enemy as all three of them!”
