TEHRAN – Iranian actress and stage director Elham Pavenejad is currently performing “Café Pulcherie” based French writer Alain Vettese’s monolog “Chez Pulcherie” at Tehran’s Shahrzad Theater.

Earlier in April 2017, she staged the play at Tehran’s City Theater Complex. 

Pavenejad is playing the role of the sole character in the one-act monolog, which is about a middle-aged woman who owns and runs a café independently, and will be on stage for about a month.

Pavenejad’s colleagues, including director Hassan Fat’hi, and actors Amir-Hossein Rostami, Gelareh Abbasi and Kamand Amirsoleimani, attended the opening performance held on Thursday.
