TEHRAN-The play “The Two Worlds Hotel” directed by Saber Karimi is currently on stage at Neauphle-le-Chateau Theater in Tehran.

It is based on the play “Between Worlds” written by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, which is about the hotel named Two Worlds where the new guests do not know how they have got there and how to leave there, IRNA reported.

In this strange place, anything is possible, even miracles - the lame walk again and liars tell the truth. The enigmatic Doctor S. looks after the guests during their stay, but his silence only increases their fears.

Schmitt's play is a metaphysical suspense drama between dream and reality, life and death, comedy and tragedy. It is another desperate quest as well as a variation on the notion of “Meaning”. In the end, mystery remains the sole reason for hope.

Babak Nouri, Aram Nikbin, Mehdi Kazerani, Maryam Zarei, Farnaz Rahmani, and Saber Karimi act in the play.

Schmitt, 63, is a Franco–Belgian playwright, short story writer and novelist, as well as a film director. His plays have been staged in over 50 countries all over the world.

Several plays by Schmitt, including “Partners in Crime,” “Enigma Variations,” “Oscar and the Lady in Pink,” and “The Night of Fire” have been performed by various groups in Iran.

“Hotel of the Two Worlds” will remain on stage until December 3 at the Neauphle-le-Chateau Theater located at No. 18, Neauphle-le-Chateau St., junction of Razi St.
