Mary Apick’s Beneath the Veil to Play Lincoln Center April 25

Iranian actress Mary Apick will direct and perform in her play Beneath the Veil at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, on April 25 at 7:30pm.

The play, co-written by G. Perkins, tells the real-life stories of 10 women of all ages who have lived very different lives in the Middle East but have all been connected by one common thread — the veil. Characters include a Canadian journalist who was tortured, raped and killed in Tehran for taking photographs of the exterior of a prison in 2003; a young girl who kills herself after being severely reprimanded for listening to Michael Jackson music; and a woman being punished for a moral sin that she has committed by being buried up to her neck in a shallow grave and then stoned to death.

The cast also features Anthony Azizi, Apick Youssefian, Sara Kaye, Deana Payne, Tania Verafield, Lori Clark and Noopur Singha.
