Mahmoud

by Tara Grammy, Tom Arthur Davis

An exuberant Iranian engineer-cum-taxi driver. A fabulously gay Spanish perfume salesman. An awkwardly charming Iranian Canadian preteen who just wants to be "normal." When the three strangers find themselves crossing paths in the busy streets of Toronto, their experiences with racism, sexism, homophobia, homesickness, and everything in between become intertwined in unexpected ways.

A quick, charming commute read. A short play by a Canadian-Iranian university student, which made it big in NYC and LA. Funny and horrifying by turns. It’s always interesting to see how playwrights do their magic on the page, and imagine it in the round.

This had me in tears. It was such a good read and hit really close to home. I highly suggest it, especially to Iranians living in Canada.
