Daughters of Persia

About the show

Daughters of Persia is a special, one-off evening of music and words, created by British pianist Margaret Fingerhut and Iranian composer Farhad Poupel with all proceeds supporting the creation of scholarships for exceptional young women artists from Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

Both entertaining and moving, the event shines light on one of the world’s greatest cultures – Persia – and celebrates it through the stories of its women.

With the script brought together by the Oscar and BAFTA-nominated screenwriter William Nicholson (Gladiator, Les Misérables), it is now announced that Shaparak Khorsandi, Tamsin Greig and Shala Nyx join the cast of Daughters of Persia as Narrators who will perform alongside Margaret Fingerhut (piano), Bradley Creswick (violin) and Guy Johnston (cello).
