Little did 19-year-old Rayhaneh Jabbari know what her life would be like for the next 7 years, within prison walls, when she agreed to meet Dr. Sarbandi on the 7th of July 2007. Little did she know that she would pay with death, 7 years later, for defending herself against the man who tried to rape her. With a hanging noose in front of her, Rayhaneh tells her story: her battle to makes sense of life, destiny, humanity, from within the prison walls.
A true story of a woman and her time in jail, before her execution in October 2014.
07/07/07 is a devised piece based on the written accounts of Reyhanneh Jabbari, who spent 7 years in prison in Tehran, Iran. She wrote a 20 part account of those 7 years in 2014, before her hanging.
