Review: ANDY WARHOL IN IRAN at Barrington Stage Company
by Marc Savitt - June 19, 2022

If not for the creative aspects touched upon above, it serves a fantastic look at nearly forgotten period in modern history and a strong reminder both that things are not always as they may at first appear; as well the notion that we are all far more alike than different. Read the review!
