Bijan Mofid (1935 – 1984) was an influential Iranian playwright and stage director. His most famous work, شهر قصه (Shahr-e Ghesseh), is an allegorical satire written in the form of a musical play using elements of Iranian folklore, for which he also composed the music. Bijan Mofid (playwright/director) was one of very few serious modern Iranian artists whose writing has reached beyond the intelligentsia to a broad general audience.
