International co-production with OKC Abrasevic
Modern Times Stage Company carried out a successful international co-production of the acclaimed play Aurash with OKC Abrašević in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Throughout the month of May, Artistic Director Soheil Parsa led a cast of local actors and a production team including Modern Times' Sue Balint and Peter Farbridge in a local language production of Aurash.
Originally adapted and translated by Soheil Parsa and Brian Quirt from a short story by Bahram Beyza'i, Aurash was presented on June 5th and 6th at OKC Abrašević, receiving much attention in the local and national media and an enthusiastic response from audiences. OKC Abrašević will continue to present Araš in repertory in the coming months, with the possibility of touring the production to major centres throughout the region.
