"A considered study of the incomplete ways we understand what is foreign to us" — New York Times

Step into Nargis's living room for a consequential gathering designed to prevent war with Iran. Collaborative collective Piehole invites you to help "fix" the US's relationship to Iran through an interactive experience that blends the urgency of de-escalation with the intrigue of an Agatha Christie-style mystery. Disclaimer probes identity, fear, and the stakes of cultural (mis)representation. Disclaimer: This play contains propaganda, vague promises of Persian food, and minimally invasive audience participation.
