Synopsis
In between four walls, three women from three different social classes of the Islamic Republic of Iran clash and connect in a night that will change them.
Four Walls is an interesting anomaly, a Canadian production that immersively describes another culture, taking in the circumstances of Iran post-revolution as its setting. Written from obvious personal relevance to director Raha Shirazi, and working with a reductive, almost theatrical staging (its set nearly entirely inside a jail cell), it compellingly recognizes the cultural claustrophobia of the place it describes, and raises questions of state sanctioned definitions of crime and morality, virtue and shame as applied to women, and women only.
