Never stodgy, Yaghoubi’s work is laced with humour, while maintaining the serious point of view of people living in a dangerous political environment. When I read A Moment of Silence I immediately thought of it being produced in English and introduced to a Canadian audience, who might have the tendency to take democratic freedoms for granted.
I saw the play (Angles in Iran) last Friday night and I was mesmerized by the very unique script, creative directorial work, and dedication of the actors. It was indeed a great pleasure to watch something that was not dull and repetitious while conveying an important message. Thanks to Mohammad Yaghoubi for being such, ingenious visionary artist.
