An academic is supervising the first British production at Iran's most important theatre venue. Sasha Dundjerovic, senior lecturer in drama at the University of Manchester, will oversee the English-language production of Human is Human, which will run for three weeks at Tehran City Theatre. The play was written by Mehrdad Rayani Makhsous, an established Iranian writer, documentary-maker and director, who is currently studying for a PhD at Manchester. Dr Dundjerovic said: "There is certainly a turbulent political climate in Iran, but despite - or because of - that, the cultural scene is vibrant and interesting."
