The Tutor

World Premiere Commission by the New Conservatory Theatre Presented in Association with Golden Thread Productions “Delivers a masterclass in palpable psychological storytelling…provocative, fiercely entertaining world premiere” – Bay Area Reporter

Things are looking up for Kayvon. He’s just married Baran, a beautiful young Iranian woman, and brought her back to his Bay Area home. But when he asks his lifelong friend Azar to tutor Baran, all three lives begin to unravel as the two women fall into a passionate love affair. A study of preconceived notions and the hypocrisies that drive them, The Tutor is a provocative look at the cost of owning one’s truth.
