Andy Warhol in Iran

Written by Brent Askari. Directed by Sarah May. Studio Theater. October 3, 2025 to November 2, 2025. Presented in arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide.

Andy Warhol, having become a portrait painter of the rich and famous, travels to Tehran when commissioned to take polaroids of the Shah’s wife. Warhol meets a young revolutionary who throws his plans into chaos and opens the pop icon’s eyes. This fictionalized portrait on this famous visit leaves the audience asking, “who was the artist and who was the revolutionary?”

“Andy Warhol in Iran will resonate for anyone who cares about history. Or the present. Or the future.” The Chicago Sun-Times
