Review: Iranian Girlfriend at MItu580

By Loren Noveck

“Its segments are individually crisp and provocative; its performances expertly walk that fine line between emotive realism and sardonic commentary on themselves…”

“Its precision of tone–incisive and goofy at the same time…”

“Shiva Kiani, playing a character who is and is not Tennent, getting drunk in an airport and reading Foucault. Asal Takesh singing about strawberry jam. All three of them in an extended riff on the background of Medea.”

“In using an ensemble to both represent and comment on her own character…Tennent finds a compellingly theatrical way to engage the genre.”
