iFilm English TV to air finale for ‘The Tenth Night’

iFilm English TV Channel has set to air the final episode of ‘The Tenth Night’ on Monday.

The final episode for the series, produced by Hassan Beshkoufeh and directed by Hassan Fathi, will be aired on July 31, 2023 at 20:00 GMT.

‘The Tenth Night’ tells the tale of Heidar, who finds himself in a predicament after losing a bet.

As part of the wager, he must steal valuable items from a mansion once owned by a princess of the previous Qajar dynasty.

However, since the monarchy has been overthrown by the new ruler, Reza Pahlavi, Heidar's task becomes even riskier.

When Heidar encounters the princess during his mission, he becomes enamored with her and proposes marriage.

To dissuade him, the princess presents an impossible condition.

She challenges Heidar to organize and perform in a forbidden 10-night passion play known as Ta'zieh.

This play recounts the tragic martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his loyal companions, traditionally staged during the mourning month of Muharram.

Accepting the challenge, Heidar embarks on the arduous task of staging the passion play.

Everything seems to be going well until the unexpected happens on the ninth night, leaving him facing unforeseen troubles on the ultimate night of the performance.

The most notable on the cast list are Sorayya Qasemi, Atash Taqipour, Roya Teymourian, Mahmoud Pakniyyat, Parviz Fallahipour, Parviz Pour-Hosseini, Hossein Yari, Katayoun Riahi, Akram Mohammadi, and Sediqeh Kianfar.

‘The Tenth Night’, produced in 2001, will be replaced by ‘The Patriarch’ made by Akbar Khajouee.
