Memoirs of the Actor in a Supporting Role (Persian: خاطرات هنرپیشهٔ نقش دوم, romanized: khaterat-e honarpishe-ye naqsh-e dovvom) is a 1982 play by Bahram Beyzai.
The play recounts the urban adventures of two male villagers (named Mowhebat and Zolfaqar) in Tehran during the earlier stages of street demonstrations in the 1979 revolution.
Driven by drought and indigence, the two arrive in the large city in the latter months of the shah's rule in order to seek employment.
Their unwittingly reactionary occupation in troubled times adds up to catastrophic consequences.
Yet, other notable performances include the 2003 autumn production in Tehran directed by Hadi Marzban with a cast of 42 and with Farzaneh Kaboli in one of the leading roles.
