Rich Kids – A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran – Javaad Alipoor and HOME in association with Traverse Theatre Company

World Preview

The global gap between rich and poor grows. As the world is decaying, the spawn of the powerful dance like everyone is watching.

From the company behind the Fringe First award-winning The Believers Are But Brothers, this is a darkly comedic, urgent new play about entitlement, consumption and digital technology, exploring cycles of historic decline and rebirth and the ways societies try to reproduce themselves.

Written by artist and activist Javaad Alipoor.

Rich Kids – A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran is a Javaad Alipoor and HOME co-production, in association with Traverse Theatre Company. Co-commissioned by Diverse Actions, Theatre in the Mill, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Battersea Arts Centre and Bush Theatre.

Writer – Javaad Alipoor
Co-Creators – Javaad Alipoor and Kirsty Housley

“Complex, masterly…One of the most fascinating shows I have seen in an age”
