7 WOMEN, 7 HEAVENS

Originally commissioned by the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA) in 2006, Kayhan Irani's play 7Women, 7Heavens explores the complexity of women’s experiences within various Islamic contexts and realities.  The play provides a loving, realistic, and painful picture of women struggling to live big lives despite cultural, religious, and societal barriers.  Directed by Jonathan Cerullo and presented at the inaugural WISE conference – Women’s Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equity.
