''The Lady Aoi'' ( fa, بانو آئویی, ''Banou Aoi'') was a 1998 production of Yukio Mishima's play of the same name in Persian translation, which was produced and directed by Bahram Beyzai in his as yet only production of a play by a playwright other than himself. Production After about 18 years of no theater work since ''Death of Yazdgerd'' (1979), in 1997 Beyzai, at the indication of the officials of the new government of Mohammad Khatami (1997–2005), returned to Tehran from his brief stay in Strasbourg at the invitation of the International Parliament of Writers.

Now, finding out that Mojdeh Shamsaie, his wife, had acting in ''The Lady Aoi'' on her mind as her graduate work, he decided to produce this play for her.

Mise-en-scène
''Mise-en-scène'' (; en, "placing on stage" or "what is put into the scene") is the stage design and arrangement of actors in scenes for a theatre or film production, both in visual arts through storyboarding, visual theme, and cinematography, and in narrative storytelling through direction. The term is also commonly used to refer to single scenes that are representative of a film. ''Mise-en-scène'' has been called film criticism's "grand undefined term." It has been criticized for its focus on the theatrical or dramatic design aspects rather than the plot itself, as those who utilize ''Mise-en-scène'' tend to look at what is "put before the camera," rather than the story. The use of ''mise-en-scène'' is significant as it allows the director to convey messages to the viewer through what is placed in the scene, not just the content of the scene. Definition in film studies When applied to the cinema, ''mise-en-scène'' refers to everything that appears before the camera and i ...
