"...a fascinating piece, muscular, yet curiously elusive."
The Toronto Star

Stories from the Rains of Love and Death is a quintet of interrelated one-act plays written in 1977.  It’s a world both mysterious and profound; a world where reality and time are fluid; a world out of control. Na’lbandian’s characters are gripped by forces and events beyond their comprehension. Emotionally raw and psychologically unfathomable, they struggle to find reality and solve the riddles of life in environments that conspire against them.  See more...
