When the Moment Comes (Vancouver Fringe Festival)

How do people of faith transcend incarceration, torture, and execution? “When the Moment Comes” shares the harrowing journey and the heartbreaking stories Bahá’í women and men who were persecuted in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. This play is based on the memories of Ruhi Jahanpour, an Iranian Bahá’í woman, who refused to renounce her faith. As a result, she was imprisoned. Tragically, ten of her cellmates, all women, were executed by hanging on the same day: June 18th, 1983.
