 “Now, my friends and some artists from Zahedan are performing the comedy play ‘The Snowman’ based on a short story by Slawomir Mrozek to warm the hearts of the children in Sistan-Baluchestan,” she added.

She asked people in Zahedan to go to see the play in order to provide their generous support for the children.

Anahita Risbaf directs the play based on Polish writer Slawomir Mrozek’s short story “The Children”. The play will be on stage until October 24.

 The play tells the story of a group of children, who create a snowman to occupy themselves on a day off from school. Various government officials, upon seeing their creation, chide them with increasing severity for malicious intent in their characterization of the snowman, which they considered to be offensive and a mockery.
