The Possessed, A Play Based On Novel By Dostoevsky
Iranian actors and actresses perform in the play titled 'The Possessed' (in Russian: Besy) at the Shahrzad theater complex in downtown Tehran, Iran, on February 15, 2025. The play 'The Possessed' is based on the novel of the same name (in Russian: Besy), written by Fyodor Dostoevsky, a prominent Russian writer. This book is regarded as one of the most significant literary works in the world. The demons serve as a metaphor for the catastrophic consequences of political and moral nihilism that are prevalent in Russia during the 1860s. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
