"They overthrew the only democratically elected leader, and that's an under-emphasized story. They'll learn about our history and understand why things happen the way they do in Iran. People will be surprised." The contemporary political aspects of the play are something new to Cahill as a playwright. "I've never taken on politics as a theme," Cahill said. "It's interesting because you are talking to people about very big things. I start having conversation about these issues, and it takes me out of my little playwright's life." With all of the patriotism, poetry and people, the transcendence over what separates the two cultures are now brought together through the interactions of these women. "There's another way to think about things," said Cahill. "There's another way to look at people that is never thought of before. Maybe things that are alien and strange, but they're people too." The show takes place in the Upstairs Theatre at SLAC Wednesday through Sunday. Tickets are between $15 and $37.
