Iranian stage director Hossein Farrokhi is slated to stage Macbeth
at the Shakespeare International Theater Festival in the Armenian
capital of Yerevan.
"Although I have inserted minor changes in the original text, I have
tried to remain faithful to the alluding text," Farrokhi explained
about his Shakespeare-adapted play.
Shakespeare's Macbeth has been adapted to film, television, opera,
novels, and comic books, and is considered the British playwright's
shortest inspired tragedy that bears little relation to real events
in the Scottish history.
"Participating in an international theater festival gives Iranian
troupes the chance to introduce Iran's dramatic arts to other nations
and earn international credit," Farrokhi said.
Farrokhi is one of the most successful Iranian stage directors who
also served on the Jury of Tehran's 2011 International Student Theater
Festival, Mehr News Agency reported.
The 2011 Shakespeare International Theater Festival will be held in
September to enrich Armenians with various interpretations of renowned
works by great playwrights.
