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.
