BWW Review: RICH KIDS: A HISTORY OF SHOPPING MALLS IN TEHRAN at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

I might place Javaad Alipoor and Kristy Housley s Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran very much in the theatre as exploration of ideas camp, and it does so very well.

BEFORE SITTING DOWN AT MY DESK for the inaugural evening of the Public Theater’s digital edition of its annual Under the Radar Festival, I scroll through my phone, looking at costumed marauders storming the Capitol Building. The pictures depict smiling Vikings, Confederate and Revolutionary war soldiers, Captain America as a paratrooper holding a straw broom. Is he a warlock, or a street-sweeper? There are enough mixed metaphors for heroism to make your head explode, and I am struck by how desperate people are for cosplay, their imaginations totally warped by popular fictions.
