Shiraz, Iran. 1982. Fanaticism runs rampant in the streets, and Mona, as a Bahá’í – a member of Iran’s largest religious minority – is the fanatic’s prime target. One night, she has an important dream. It is a dream of three dresses, each representing a different direction her life might take. In her dream and in her waking life, Mona makes her choice – a choice that will lead her straight into danger’s path. Based on a true account, this full-length drama raises fundamental and challenging questions about life, faith and sacrifice for all to consider.

The play is followed by over 40 pages of historical notes on the life of Mona Mahmudnizhad, her family and her community. These notes contain details of Mona's life shared by her late mother that have not yet published in English. The availability of such rich, new material prompted this major rewrite of the original play published in 2002.
