An Open Letter to The Arranged Cast


From Mahdi Murad, the playwright
The Arranged cast
Now, as I am writing this article, I have a bunch of tissues right in front of me. Trust me, I don’t write not only a sentence, but also a word without shedding tears like rain. I don’t know where to start expressing my gratefulness toward all the hard work and effort you have put so far to turn one of my best dreams into reality. I am sure, a much better writer should write an article and describe you all to be worth published. However, I will try my best to use as much writing skills as I have to show at least small part of the work you have done so far to make The Arranged real.

It was Thursday, December 20th, 2013, when I published an article on the AUIS official website and promised to bring The Arranged to stage. It was a moment when I have not even written a single word of the play. It was scary at the beginning and I was afraid that I would not be able to make my promise. But, as I had met with every single of you and had you went through the auditions, I thought I would not be alone to do this project. I was convinced that with such a talented group of students, I would be able to make everything possible. Thus, I encouragingly started writing The Arranged.
