In 1976 Andy Warhol, having re-invented himself as the portrait painter of the rich and famous, travels to Tehran commissioned to take polaroids of the Shah’s wife. Amidst taking in the Crown Jewels and ordering room service caviar, Warhol encounters a young revolutionary who throws his plans into turmoil and opens the pop icon’s eyes to a world beyond himself.

REVIEWS:
"Andy Warhol in Iran will resonate for anyone who cares about history. Or the present. Or the future."
The Chicago Sun-Times
"With Andy Warhol in Iran, playwright Brent Askari has harnessed the
power of art to reimagine what might otherwise be a footnote in history, and created the possibility of empathy winning the day over enmity."
OnStage Pittsburgh
"If you see only one play this season, you are advised to head straight to Andy Warhol in Iran, a riveting, brilliantly imagined two-character work. Intensely compelling."
