This production of Tosca focuses on political prisoners who live under political oppression in their home countries — where religion is weaponized to arrest, execute and destroy people who believe in love, freedom and justice. It’s the story of a group of Iranian actors who are risking their lives to perform Tosca, as they know their government will not allow such stories to be told and heard.
