Kalāt Claimed (1982) is a play by Bahram Beyzai.

Contents

Text

The play was composed in 1982, with identifiable inspirations from Macbeth, and first published in Tehran early in 1984 by Damavand Publishing. Later it was published by Beyzai's exclusive publisher, Roshangaran. The same publisher printed Manucher Anvar's English translation in 2016.

Plot

The story is of two generals in the Mongol conquest of Khwarezmia and their disputes over the accession of Kalat (or even more likely Kalat-e Naderi) and its ultimate conquest by the Alans.
