Brent Askari\u2019s play imagines a possible event during the pop artist&#8217;s 1976 visit to Iran to take Polaroids of the Empress for paintings, an event that, as Andy puts it, \u201cmight have happened.\u201d Directed by Serge Seiden, the play intimately reveals the connections between two seemingly different people.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Mills evokes Andy Warhol with all his quirks and obsessions. Shyly noticing the audience while standing out on a balcony, he drops down, hoping to evade them. He initially speaks to the audience by imagining a phone conversation with them, as that is how he is most comfortable speaking to people. He finds politics \u201cabstract\u201d and expensive, ever since his unflattering portrait of Richard Nixon led the IRS to audit him yearly. Meanwhile, he hopes his portraits of royals will pay off well, as they would likely be purchased in multiple copies for palaces and government buildings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_368959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-368959\" style=\"width: 902px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-368959\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/02h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0177.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"902\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/02h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0177.jpeg 902w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/02h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0177-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/02h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0177-460x306.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/02h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0177-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-368959\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alex Mills as Andy Warhol in Mosaic Theater\u2019s production of \u2018Andy Warhol in Iran\u2019 by Brent Askari.

Photo by Chris Banks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mills and Mohebbi work brilliantly together, with a lovely back-and-forth as Andy, revealing his ignorance of Iranian history, tries to convince Farhad not to follow through on his plans to kidnap Warhol as a protest action against the Shah. When Mohebbi describes the tortures the Iranian government inflicts on protestors, Mills yells in sympathetic pain. Andy is flattered when Farhad does not realize he wears a wig. They share their backgrounds, Farhad reluctantly, with his education in the States, and his wish to have lived a different life, one of money and fame, than his reality. Andy talks about his poverty-stricken childhood, his father\u2019s early death, and how fame saved his life when he was shot. At one point, Mills ends up on his knees, pleading with Mohebbi, fear in his voice.<\/p>\n<p>Scenic Designer Andrew Cohen creates a nice hotel room, with a big bed upstage center and night tables on either side. Behind the bed is a balcony with a sliding glass door and a backdrop of mountains. Off-stage audience right is an old rotary phone and boxes of Brillo pads, with similar boxes on the other side. Properties Designer Deb Thomas places period-piece items throughout the stage, including a Pan Am flight bag and a Polaroid camera. Across the top of the stage are small screens showing various photos. Two large screens roll onstage at times on which Projections Designer Mona Kasra throws videos of Warhol\u2019s friends and key events in Iran\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_368961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-368961\" style=\"width: 902px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-368961\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0930.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"902\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0930.jpeg 902w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0930-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0930-460x306.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/01h_Andy-Warhol-in-Iran_0930-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-368961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nathan Mohebbi as Farhad and Alex Mills as Andy Warhol in Mosaic Theater\u2019s production of \u2018Andy Warhol in Iran\u2019 by Brent Askari.

Farhad wears a bellhop\u2019s uniform at first before shedding it for a loose shirt. Lighting Designer Alberto Segarra spotlights Andy and Farhad for their individual monologues, raising and lowering the lights as the emotions change. Sound Designer David Lamont Wilson throws out sounds of knocking on doors and a gunshot.<\/p>\n<p>Director Serge Seiden keeps the tension high throughout the whole play, so that even though we know Warhol\u2019s ultimate fate, at times we wonder if he will make it through this encounter. The actors hit all the right comic and emotional moments. No knowledge of Warhol and Iran is necessary; indeed, the play feels at times like an entertaining biography and history lesson, though there is some repetition between Andy\u2019s addresses to the audience and his conversation with Farhad. Even those who are not fans of Warhol will enjoy this look at a celebrity artist gradually showing his insecurities and humanity. <em>Andy Warhol in Iran<\/em> is a profound yet humorous exploration of art, business, politics, and connection.<\/p>\n<p>Running Time: Approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mosaictheater.org\/andy-warhol-in-iran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Andy Warhol in Iran<\/em><\/a><\/strong> plays through July 6, 2025, presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/mosaictheater.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mosaic Theater Company <\/a>performing in the Sprenger Theatre at Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H Street NE, Washington, DC.
