Written by Mehdi Moradpour Translated from German to English by Neil Blackadder German-Iranian playwright Mehdi Moradpour’s Reines Land, nominated for the Munich Prize for German Drama, traces the story of Tara, a pregnant Middle Eastern woman seeking political asylum amidst crippling bureaucratic hearings and crumbling relationships. Translated from German to English with the same poetic language that won Moradpour the Eurodram Award, and presented in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Chicago, Pure Land pits a torturous past against an uncertain future with sobering effect.
