FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fereydoun Farrokhzad is invisible to everyone apart from, mostly, Iranians, because nobody apart from them ever has to think about him.Its the 1970s, and Fereydoun Farrokhzads star is blazing bright – hes a sex symbol and chart-topping pop singer. Imagine an Iranian Tom Jones. A decade on and hes living in political exile in Germany, though still selling out the Royal Albert Hall. Then, on 7 August 1992, hes found brutally murdered. The neighbours said his dogs had been barking for two nights. The case has never been solved.Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World is an investigation into the nature of investigation; part free-wheeling lecture, part podcast and part play. It is a thrilling ride down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia and true-crime podcasts, sorting through the tangle of information available online to reveal the limits of the search engines in solving a decades-old cold case.Originally produced by The Javaad Alipoor Company in 2022, this witty, fast-paced and cutting-edge play, by Javaad Alipoor with Chris Thorpe, was co-commissioned by HOME and the National Theatre of Parramatta.

Review "The show gleefully mashes up genres, smashing together the quiet authority of the murder mystery podcast, the intimacy of autobiographical storytelling, and the visual spectacle of multimedia performance - while simultaneously deconstructing each of these forms... this is a dazzling argument for complexity."--Guardian "...the piece that Alipoor and co-writer Chris Thorpe have cooked up is isnt just an indulgent show about a show. It is a wild, strange, exhilarating free-form creation that touches on the nature of reality itself, that both recognises the futility of trying to see the world truthfully but feels ablaze with the possibilities of the attempt."--Time Out Details ISBN1839042737 Author Chris Thorpe Publisher Nick Hern Books Series NHB Modern Plays Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781839042737 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-08-24 Imprint Nick Hern Books Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General UK Release Date 2023-08-24 DEWEY 822.92 Pages 64 ISBN-10 1839042737 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
