WORLD PREMIERE Performed in English with select performances in Persian (Farsi), EARWORM, a Nowadays Theatre production in association with Crow’s Theatre, is written and directed by Mohammad Yaghoubi. Homa, a long-time immigrant from Iran who fled persecution from the Islamic regime, must negotiate the reality that her son is in love with a conservative Muslim woman. When Homa's past catches up to her in present-day Toronto, their future happiness is threatened. Inspired by real events, EARWORM is a stunning depiction of the far-reaching impact of the Iranian revolutions of 1979 and 2022 through themes of love, power, parenting, and political asylum. Born and raised in Iran, Mohammad Yaghoubi is an award-winning playwright, director, screenwriter, and theatre instructor. His plays have been translated into six languages and produced all over the world. Following a decade of producing theatre in Iran, Mohammad co-founded Nowadays Theatre in Toronto in 2016, and it quickly established itself with critically acclaimed productions in English and Persian (Farsi), including Swim Team, Dance of Torn Papers, Winter of 88, Heart of a Dog, and The Only Possible Way. For more information about Nowadays Theatre, please visit https://www.nowadaystheatre.org/. The running time of EARWORM is two hours plus intermission. AUDIENCE ADVISORY Please note that EARWORM contains depictions of on stage violence, as well as discussions of islamophobia, suicide, torture, and murder. The play also engages in heavy political debate regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian government.  A Note on Audience Participation: Our cast may interact with you during the performance, and will ask you to vote in multiple audience polls. It is not mandatory to participate, but it is greatly appreciated.  READ THE REVIEWS The Globe and Mail CRITIC'S PICK https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/theatre-and-performance/reviews/article-earworm-at-crows-theatre-is-a-must-see-amid-foreign-interference/   "With its complex, persuasive characters and pointed self-awareness, EARWORM is a deeply considered, intense and compassionate piece of theatre." https://istvandugalin.com/2024/02/13/earworm-nowadays-theatre/   “An outstanding world premiere that is pensive and shocking” https://www.ourtheatrevoice.com/items-2/%27earworm%27-by-mohammad-yaghoubi--   "Ingtriguing and powerful!" https://aviewfromthebox.net/2024/02/15/nowadays-theatres-earworm/   DIGITAL PROGRAMME DOWNLOAD THE HOUSE PROGRAMME  PERFORMANCE NOTES Performed in Persian (Farsi) with English Surtitles: Wednesday, February 7 @ 8:00pm Friday, February 9 @ 8:00pm (Opening Night) Friday, February 16 @ 8:00pm Saturday, February 17 @ 2:00pm Friday, February 23 @ 8:00pm Saturday, February 24 @ 2:00pm Friday, March 1 @ 8pm Saturday, March 2 @ 8pm Sunday, March 3 @ 2pm Farsi (Also a Pay-What-You-Can performance) Extra Pay-What-You-Can performance Wednesday, February 28 @ 29pm Pre-Show Chat (in the Lobby): Sunday, February 18 @ 12:30pm (also a Pay-What-You-Can performance) Post-Show Talkback (in the Theatre): Friday, February 16 Mask Required Performances: Sunday, February 11 @ 2:00pm (also a Pay-What-You-Can performance).
