University of Windsor graduate Talish Zafar (BA 2012) is excited to debut his play Fireflies in the City: A Conversation about Love this weekend at Mackenzie Hall.
“It’s a comedy that ends up turning into an actual conversation about love,” Zafar said. “It gets emotional and even brutal with the reality of what love actually is.”
In addition to writing the play, Zafar is acting in one of the lead roles.
“I enjoy being able to say the words that I wrote and in the way that I meant for them to be said and interpreted,” he said.
