A darkly comic thriller about the 1953 CIA-backed coup in Iran. Told through five characters — American spy Kermit, U.S. Ambassador Loy, Shah Pahlavi, Kambiz the Iranian pool boy, and the Pool itself — the play blends political thriller with surreal metaphor. Part spy noir, part political allegory, AJAX is about power, manipulation, and the long shadows foreign intervention casts — a theatrical excavation of a history still rippling outward today. A comedy, until it isn’t.
Male. 20s/early 30s. Persian. A proud, hard-working pool boy and gardener who’s earned every step he’s taken in life. Scrappy, upbeat, and more capable than most might assume. His closest confidant is a talking Pool — completely normal to him — though his ambitions may be starting to outgrow his friendship.
Male. Late 30s. White. Born with a silver spoon and a famous last name, he’s got brains but very little brawn. Sees himself as a cowboy/spy — big on adventure gear, dramatic plans, and secret missions — though no one would ever mistake him for 007. Charming in his drive to prove he’s more than a pampered Roosevelt and leave his mark on history.
Male. Early 30s. Persian. Loves to work out but is allergic to actual work. A nervous, reluctant leader who’d much rather be in front of a mirror doing his hair or bicep curls. Carries very real daddy issues and is forever trying to look like the strong, masculine man he thinks he’s supposed to be. To his own surprise, he’s actually pretty good at wielding power — maybe a little too good.
Male. Any age. Middle Eastern or Persian. A reflective being who represents both Kambiz's subconscious and the spirit of the Iranian people. Dry, acerbic, sees and knows everything but careful about what he says.
Male. Late 40s or 50s. White. The U.S. ambassador to Iran. Smug. Intelligent. Not a big fan of hot weather or undisciplined subordinates. Always wants to be right. Has a desire to be more important than he currently is.
