Synopsis Have Colourful Dreams, Sir by : Masoud Shakarami
The revered Persian poets and philosophers of the 13th and 14th century, (such as Saadi and Hafez) wrote lyrical poems called Ghazals, that recounted tales of love in all its splendour and tragedy. The love described differed from western notions of love. Ghazals spoke of separation and pain that demanded complete surrender and total sacrifice. Have Colourful Dreams, Sir is a contemporary adaptation of the lyrical poems of old. It is a play steeped in symbolism and metaphors. It takes us to an island where a magical shaman, a hapless yet mysterious cripple, a beautiful maiden and a baker of enchanted cookies are faced with a dilemma that demands a solution. This is a play that is thought-provoking yet remarkably simple in its telling. Any reader who has ever fallen in love will identify with the dangers and perils that such an affliction can bring. It will leave you pondering the complex condition of the emotion which we all must inevitably face. Award-winning actor and playwright, Masoud Shakarami’s first English translation of the play, which won first prize in the Fajr International Theatre Festival, will be sure to entertain and delight. “There is only one way to understand a Ghazal, and it is not to study it for years, nor visiting various countries nor becoming familiar with the great poets. To understand Ghazal, you only have to drink wine and fall in LOVE.” So pour a glass and immerse yourself in a play all about love.

Synopsis The Colonel's Dream by : Charles Chesnutt
In this provocative novel of reconstruction and race, a Civil War veteran tries to create a new utopia in his Southern hometown after gaining enlightenment and riches in the North. Revolutionary in both its storyline and its storytelling, The Colonel’s Dream was one of the most progressive books of its time when it was first published in 1905. Few authors of African descent created white protagonists, but Charles Chesnutt did just that, exploring the economic and social conditions of freed slaves through the eyes of Colonel French, a former Confederate officer. Returning to his impoverished hometown after years as a successful businessman in the North, French attempts to revitalize the community and improve living conditions for a vibrant cast of characters living there, including his old servant and an ambitious young woman. Despite his hopes, French faces roadblocks at every turn, including a corrupt convict-leasing system that essentially re-enslaves many of the town’s black residents. With a new, no-holds barred Introduction by the incomparable Ishmael Reed, The Colonel’s Dream offers a prophetic perspective on modern issues of multiculturalism and economic disparity, making it a keystone in American literature and history.
