Abbas Nalbandian

Abbas Nalbandian was an Iranian playwright who wrote several absurdist plays in the 1960s and 1970s. His plays had long and unusual titles, one example being that of his first play, “A deep, big and new research about fossils of 25th genealogy period, or 20th, or any other period, there is no difference” (1966). Nalbandian was influenced by European absurdist theatre, incorporating ideas and methods from European drama into Iranian drama.
