About this listen

From the inventive mind of experimental playwright Nassim Soleimanpour comes Mr. K and the Flowers, a deftly written and deeply evocative existential mystery.

It’s the middle of the night in Tehran when Michael arrives at the apartment of his ex-girlfriend, Shima. He finds her anxiously awaiting a mysterious visitor and fears he’s interrupted a tryst, only to gradually learn that the truth is much stranger and more sinister.

What follows is a series of cunning detours in this atmospheric and elusive odyssey that challenges expectations and assumptions at every turn.

Playwright Nassim Soleimanpour was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, he received funding and creative support to develop Mr. K and the Flowers.

I wish there was more of this! Perfect mix of story, voice, and sound engineering.

Absolutely mesmerising performances right throughout. I take the narrator’s point though about audiences trying desperately to connect story threads to make sense or meaning - once I heard this part, the whole thing made sense.
Even if you don’t get it, persevere. It’s worth it for the performances alone.

Utterly stunning performance
