UNTOLD LIVES ON STAGE

Üçü Bir Arada (Three in One), a play notable for the impressive performances of Celil Nalçakan, Cem Davran, and Onur Özaydın, will meet the audience at KüçükÇiftlik Garden Theater on August 7. Written by Yunus Emre Gümüş, the play explores lives ruined by dreams of never-lived loves, wounds that bleed when remembered as they scab over with forgetting, sons who perish in search of ways to love their fathers, those who cannot cross the finish line, those doomed to a life of misery, and the modest, tragic untold stories of men tested by masculinity.
