The Talented Mr. Deratany: 'Haram Iran' moves to the Los Angeles stage
The play is based on the true story of two teens, on trial for the crime of homosexuality in 2005 in Iran, and set to be executed by hanging.
Deratany is a personal injury lawyer: His firm is based in Chicago where he has won multi-million dollar settlements for many of his clients. He specializes in children's medical rights.
He is currently representing the Duckett family in the pending lawsuit against CNN's Nancy Grace. He is also lending his expertise and advice to Rhonda Mangus and her son Michael, in the ongoing legal battle in North Tonawanda, New York, involving New York's Supreme Court and Appellate Court.
The play will make its Los Angeles debut at the Celebration Theater this March. A significant amount of ticket proceeds will be donated to Amnesty International.
