Abstract
In the play Death of Yazdgerd, Bahram Beyzai challenges the correction of historical narratives about the death of Yazdgerd. The characters improvise im/plausible micronarratives about the king’s murder. The play, investigates on one hand, the grand narrative in which the divine power bestows the king the right to rule people and on the other hand the micronarratives which dispute the logic of this absolutist monarchy. The research also demonstrates Beyzai’s techniques to deconstruct the grand narrative and lower it to the level of micronarratives.
