A Beautiful Game of Love

Touzie moves fluidly between Persian and English performance. In Persian plays, his language is rich with idioms, satire, and rhythm. In English works like The Kite Runner, his delivery emphasizes emotional authenticity, bridging cultural gaps without losing the essence of the character.

Touzie is one of the few playwrights consistently producing Persian-language theatre in the West for over four decades. His works have become a shared cultural touchstone, performed not just in Los Angeles but also in Toronto, London, and other cities with large communities.
