The Fig Tree, And The Phoenix, And The Desire to be Reborn by Isabelle Fereshteh Sanatdar Stevens
Directed by Nikta Sabouri
February 20-March 9

Figs fall from the Tree. Whispers of a Revolution crowd the shadows. Southwest of Mashhad, ten-year-olds Mandana and Javeed hurtle towards each other for the very first time – except somehow it doesn’t feel like the first time. There's no explaining it, and not much time to think about it, as the world begins to crumble around them. A play about old worlds, this world, and how we make new worlds.

Produced in collaboration with the Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Theatre.
