The play titled ‘Gom-o-Gour’ (literally meaning to very lost) by Amir Mohandesian will go on stage from November 12.

The director said the main theme of this realist play is birth, highlighted in contrast with death. It is set in a cemetery.

Kaveh Ebrahim, Alireza Zare-Parast, Fardin Shah-Hosseini, and Samaneh Aqa-Zamani are also in the troupe.
