Andy Warhol In Iran
by Brent Askari
Directed by Benjamin T. Ismail
March 17 – April 18, 2027
Based On A True Story
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. A fictionalized portrait of the artist’s famed visit to Iran that leaves you asking, “Who was the artist and who was the revolutionary?”
“A masterful, creative blend of humor and reflection…ANDY WARHOL IN IRAN is a profound yet humorous exploration of art, business, politics, and connection.” –DC THEATRE ARTS
