Sevil (1928 play)
Program of the play Sevil, 1928-1929
Sevil is a play by Azerbaijani playwright Jafar Jabbarly written in 1928. It focused on the theme of the role of women, their oppression, struggle, and ultimately, victory over dated patriarchal traditions.[1][2][3] Many women discarded their veils in the city theater after seeing the play.[4]
Later adaptations of the play were less extreme compared to the original.[5] It was made into a film with the same title in 1929, which was shown throughout Central Asia and the Caucasus.[6]
