"Sacred Defense memories can be changed into plays"
9 April 2012
Afshari-asl:
Iranian playwright Iraj Afshari-asl believes that since Sacred Defense and Islamic Revolution's memories are based on reality they have the potentials to be changed into dramas.
IBNA: Afshari-asl said:" The field of writing Sacred Defense and Islamic Revolution's plays isn’t supported well thus the playwrights, after a while, lose their motivation for writing as they spend lots of time for writing and finally the work is staged in a place in which the text's values diminishes."
The other issue is the financial problems, he added and said:" When a play is staged the dramaturge is the last person to receive a payment that is if anything is left behind!
Afshari-asl went on to say that Islamic Revolution and Sacred Defense memoirs and novels can be used for plays. In order to write a play even a single word can be used as well, while a incident can be a base for a drama as well.
Since Sacred Defense and Islamic Revolution's memories are based on reality they have the potentials to be changed into dramas, he added.
Afshari-asl has bagged many awards for his plays from different cultural festivals so far.

Boroujerdi immediately said to Darvish, “Ready a few men; we’re going.” Then he moved toward Mostafa, who was studying the Kurdistan map. Mostafa straightened his back and said, “During my service in the army I experienced a full-scale war in Kurdistan. Guerrilla warfare in Kurdistan follows its own rules.
