Shakespeare’s “A Winter’s Tale” took a bow in Tehran this week as the Dundee Repertory Theatre Company played as “part of an initiative by the British Council to open hearts and minds in the Muslim world.” The play was “performed to a sold-out theatre packed with university students, academics and artists hungry for more cultural contact with the west. ‘Opportunities like this come so rarely. We only see foreign theatre productions once a year and to get the chance to see Shakespeare performed by a British cast is just incredible’.”
