Majnoun

by Mehrdad Seyf

Following their free ‘rough’ performance of The Persian Revolution, in January, 30 Bird Productions return to the Lyric with their critically acclaimed show, Majnoun, prior to a UK tour.

Due to popular demand, an extra performance has been added for 17.30 on Saturday 22 April.

No sex, no booze, no techo? Majnoun blasts the popular Western image of Iran through the roof in a surreal and comic collision of images, music and text exposing the peculiar marriage of modernism and tradition in modern day Iran.

‘Playful, absurdist and comic . . . Majnoun is so deftly staged and so appealingly performed, it is impossible not to like’ The Guardian.

In association with Iran Heritage Foundation.

Part of theMIX, a groundbreaking season of new work in the Lyric Studio, supported by Deutsche Bank.
