5.0 out of 5 stars
An emotionally wrenching drama,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dress for Mona (Paperback)
A Dress For Mona is a powerful play by Mark Perry and based upon a true historical account. A Dress For Mona is set in 1982 Iran when the Bahai (an offshoot of Islam and the largest religious minority within Iran) were subjected to brutal prosecution, imprisonment, and even murder. Young Mona is a Bahai believer, and thus a primary target for arrest and execution. Her vision of three dresses, each representing a different direction possible for her life, and her difficult choices between faith and sacrifice are vividly presented in this gripping human account, in many ways a modern-day mirror of the fanaticism portrayed in another great classic, "The Crucible". A Dress For Mona is an absorbing, thought-provoking, and at times emotionally wrenching drama which highly recommended for either personal readings or community theater productions.
