Zar Amir Ebrahimi to star in ‘Lili,’ First Video Game Adaptation from The Royal Shakespeare Company
In this innovative adaptation of Shakespeare’s timeless play, Ebrahimi takes on the role of Lady Macbeth, known here as Lili. The setting is a visually striking, contemporary Iran with a neo-noir twist, where privacy is scarce and the all-seeing government intrudes into everyday life. The gameplay combines live-action cinematography with an interactive element, allowing players to influence Lili’s fate by making crucial decisions. In this version, Macbeth’s witches are portrayed as hackers, while surveillance cameras, cyber-tools, and infiltration techniques serve as immersive game elements.
