In 1980, when she was 16 years old, Marina Nemat was arrested for speaking out against Ayatollah Khomeinis regime. She was imprisoned in the infamous Evin Prison, tortured, and sentenced to death. At the last minute her execution was halted by her interrogator, who then forced her into marriage. She continued to be a prisoner. An extraordinary tale of faith and survival. Prisoner of Tehran is the stage adaptation of Nemats international bestselling memoir.
