Head of the Religious Drama Office of the Dramatic Arts Center, Mahmoud Farhand, believes Nahjolbalagheh contains thousands of hidden topics and ethical messages which can be dramatized.

IBNA: "Previously, religious drama has been overlooked by artists, but a number of good works have been done in that regard recently," said Farhand. "However, such negligence is expected to remain should there be felt no need for religious concepts in drama." 

As he said, the Religious Drama Office has been established by address such negligence and is to hold the first Reality Drama Festival. So far, 20 proposals for plays have been submitted for the festival. 

Religious drama needs support from officials, he added, so that it can produce valuable works on the lives of imams and religious figures. 

"There are thousands of hidden ethical messages and topics in Nahjolbalagheh which should be considered by dramatists," he further added.
