I will be presenting five shorts plays at the festival. Three of them are from my collection Small Talk that was recently published by Samuel French. The other two shorts are taken from a longer piece I am currently working on called A Paradise to Come. This piece is loosely based on the experience of Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian journalist while he was imprisoned in Iran's notorious Evin prison.
 
I am looking for actors who can play Persian. This show will require that they are in Montreal from June 9-19. I am covering transportation and housing for the cast, but my budget does not allow me to provide pay.
 
I have included some relevant links for you to look at.

Here is a more concise announcement:
 
Paradise 1 & 2
Montreal Fringe Theatre Festival
June 9-19
Transportation and Accomodation provided
Parts:
SAMI: 30s-40s.
AMIR: 30s-40s.
Loosely based on the experience of the journalist Maziar Bahari, these short pieces explore the relationship between an Iranian interrogator and his subject as the questioning takes several strange turns from espionage to Facebook to Lady Gaga.
June 9th-19th
