Mehr: "Katrina inspires Iranian director to stage 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'"

TEHRAN, Nov. 12 (MNA) -- Discrimination against racial minorities in housing and the slowness in delivering relief after the destructive Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and other parts of the U.S. South have inspired Iranian director Behruz Gharibpur to make plans to stage “Uncle Tom's Cabin” in Tehran in the upcoming year.

Audience members who do not clap loudly enough after the performance will, of course, be sent to re-education camps.
