Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran is darkly
comedic, urgent new play that explores the ubiquitous feeling that
our societies are falling apart. It is the second part
of a trilogy of plays from Javaad Alipoor about how digital
technology, resentment and fracturing identities are changing the
world. Combining digital theatre and a live Instagram feed, the
production premiered at the Traverse Theatre in 2019,
winning a Scotsman Fringe First Award. When its London
transfer and subsequent national tour was postponed by the Covid-19
pandemic, co-creators Javaad Alipoor and Kirsty Housley set about
devising a new digital version for online audiences which has been
on virtual world tour since summer 2020 with performances at The
Public Theater's Under The Radar Festival, HOME Manchester, Norfolk
& Norwich Festival, Chicago's Woolly Mammoth Theatre, Electric
Dreams Festival and the Sundance Film Festival. The
Scotsman Fringe First Winner 'A compelling experiment…
Thrillingly idea-rich, ambitious and formally adventurous.' The
Stage 'An ambitious, sprawling show.' The ObserverÂ
