A darkly comic political thriller about the CIA-backed coup that reshaped Iran.
The CIA walks into a Tehran courtyard in 1953. What happens next shaped the next seventy years of Middle Eastern politics. In this darkly comic spy thriller a swimming pool becomes a nation, tennis becomes oil politics, and politeness becomes warfare. You’ve never seen American foreign policy look this seductive—or this damning.
In the dark times
Will there also be singing?
Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times. -Bertolt Brecht
