During the course of 75 intensely compelling minutes that unfold entirely in a posh hotel room in Tehran in 1976, the play poses profound questions about both art and revolution and the forces that shaped two very different men.
The play’s notably real character is Warhol, captured to perfection in an absolutely uncanny performance by Rob Lindley. The fictional character is Farhad, an ingeniously imagined and wholly believable young Iranian man expertly played by Hamid Dehghani .
Farhad, as we soon learn, is a serious revolutionary who is working undercover as a room service waiter at the hotel where Warhol is staying. Farhad is determined to help overthrow Palavi and wants to see a democratic government take hold. Both men have been wounded in emotional and physical ways. And when, at one point, Farhad displays the painful price he has paid for his politics, it prompts Warhol to expose the physical scars from his near-death shooting by the radical feminist Valerie Solanas in 1968.
