The play ‘Ferhunde’, adapted from HALİT ZİYA UŞAKLIGİL's unforgettable edition Ferhunde Kalfa, is coming to your city!
I am Ferhunde. Kalfa, who was given to Kamil Pasha's mansion as an aunt at a young age. I am Ferhunde. The nanny who grows up with Hasna, the pasha's little daughter. 
I am Ferhunde, the slave who grew up to become a journeyman, a nanny, a sister, but who was never liberated... My whole childhood was spent in this mansion. In the mansion, in the mansion... 

HALİT ZİYA UŞAKLIGİL's immortal story Ferhunde Kalfa. It is a story of being free, a story of being free, which equates the achievement of dreams with marriage, with a sincerity that makes us say that it belongs to us. 
A mansion. A child brought to the mansion as an aunt at a young age. A slave girl.
Ferhunde, who grew up with Hasna, the little lady of the house, and was made happy with her dreams and forgot to be herself. Hasna gets married, it will be her turn, Hasna has a child, it will be her turn... 
When Hasna's child grows up, she'll get married too. It didn't happen, she couldn't make it happen. She waited. She waited and waited. "Oh my God, how many grey hairs I have. Wrinkles have started on my face. Who invented this mirror? It's better not to look at it at all. I thought they were going to have a glorious wedding. They don't even mention the wedding anymore. 

A lifetime has passed. Sabit finished primary school. It's been a while since he started high school. That year we went to Kadıköy and stayed in Çamlıca for a year. So it's been two years since Sabit started high school. Still no one thinks about me. 

I'm Ferhunde, the one whose hopes are dashed.
