Bride of the Pomegranate

Bride of the Pomegranate is a theatre production written and directed by Hossein Jamali and staged in 2025 at Iranshahr Theatre in Tehran. Produced by the Nist Theatre Group, the play was initially performed at Samandarian Hall and was later extended at Nazarzadeh Kermani Hall due to audience demand.
Drawing on Iranian rituals, folklore and traditional performance forms, Bride of the Pomegranate explores contemporary social concerns through an allegorical narrative. Inspired by issues such as violence and so-called “honour killings,” the play addresses the role of women and motherhood in society.

The official tagline of the production reads: “The tree is choosing its next victim.”
Baha Morshedi appeared in the production as an actor alongside Ramona Shah, Louis Seifi, Elnaz Soleimani, Farbod Farhang, Arash Gholam-Azad, Salar Daryamaj, Mojgan Charani and Maedeh Keyvani.
