I’m an Iranian writer currently living in Oman as an expatriate English Language and Literature professor with a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature. I’m a published poet and write novels, 10-minute, short and full stage plays and screenplays that have won prizes and been nominated as finalist in several film and theatre festivals. I’m also a frequent contributor to Substack by my comparative essays and critiques on plays and films.
