You may not have heard of Fereydoun Farrokhzad, the figure at the centre of Javaad Alipoor’s new production. Before I read about the show, neither had I. As I write this review, perhaps I do some research. Maybe I Google Farrokhzad’s name, read his Wikipedia page. Maybe I feel, having done this, as though I know something about him. But, as Alipoor brilliantly demonstrates, knowledge is not the same as understanding.
