The Visit
ملاقات بانوی سالخورده
Author: Hamid Samandarian / Friedrich Dürrenmatt (translated by Hamid Samandarian) · 1972
About this work
Hamid Samandarian, who translated Dürrenmatt's play from German himself, staged The Visit in 1972 (1351 SH) at the University of Tehran's Molavi Hall, with Jamileh Sheikhi as Claire Zachanassian alongside Akbar Zanjanpour, Ali Ramez and Gholamreza Tabatabaei; it is remembered as a high point of his career and of 1970s Iranian theatre. Thirty-five years later, in the 2007–08 season, he directed a new staging at the main hall of Tehran's City Theatre with Gohar Kheirandish, Payam Dehkordi, Ali Ramez and Ahmad Saatchian, dedicated to Sheikhi's memory. Critics have stressed his rigorous text analysis and his roots in the German directing tradition.
حمید سمندریان که «ملاقات بانوی سالخورده» دورنمات را خود از آلمانی ترجمه کرده بود، آن را در سال ۱۳۵۱ در تالار مولوی دانشگاه تهران با بازی جمیله شیخی در نقش کلارا و اکبر زنجانپور، علی رامز و غلامرضا طباطبائی روی صحنه برد؛ این اجرا از نقاط اوج کارنامهٔ او و تئاتر ایران در دههٔ پنجاه شمرده می‌شود. سمندریان ۳۵ سال بعد، در دی تا اسفند ۱۳۸۶، اجرایی تازه از همین متن را در سالن اصلی تئاتر شهر با بازی گوهر خیراندیش، پیام دهکردی، علی رامز و احمد ساعتچیان به یاد جمیله شیخی روی صحنه آورد. منتقدان به شیوهٔ دقیق تحلیل متن و وفاداری او به سنت کارگردانی آلمانی اشاره کرده‌اند.
