My overall impression

Butterflies Are Free- with Persian flavor- delights an audience with it’s charm and simplicity. The volunerability that the two (young) lead actors, Mojean Aria and Rebecca Forsythe bring to the stage is remarkable.They bravely get to know one another right in front of our faces. This poinent comedy is fluidly staged and stylisitically on point, The story unfolds at a beautiful pace. Obvioiusly an excellent director, Shila Ommi’s presence as Mrs. Baker (Chanel from head to toe) suggests Audrey Hepurn. Lastly, Jesse Pimental blasts on stage covincingly as a self obsessed 1960s director. The potential for shallowness breaks our hearts.
