Last night at Neptune, I took W. to see a new play in the Studio. It was The Veil by Shahin Sayadi, and it was very good. I was expecting it to be a little over-earnest, but was pleasantly surprised. The story (of a Persian princess, set against the history of Iran in the 20th century) was pretty compelling, and I enjoyed it for both its political content and its depiction of women's lives and the relationships between women in families.
Given that this play is brand-new, and was staged by a small local independent theatre company, I thought it was exceptionally good. One of the best things I've seen at Neptune, for sure.
