He wrote several one- acters that were both published in literary magazines and produced for the Iranian TV. In 1970 he wrote "The Teachers" which was staged in The Theatre of Iran-American Cultural Association, but it was stopped by the Shah's "SAVAK" and Yalfani along with director, Soltanpoor, were both arrested and spent three months in prison. Henceforth, all Yalfani's plays were prohibited from being staged or published. In 1973, while collaborating with "Iran Theatre Association", preparing M.
