Mossadegh is the true story of the coup orchestrated by the C.I.A. in 1953 that installed the Shah of Iran. Driven by an infectious power-pop score, this 45-minute piece is entirely performed by the members of a four-piece rock band and features a wide variety of characters from this pivotal moment in American foreign policy.

Mossadegh premiered at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival.

Kyle Ancowitz (NYTheatre.com)

"Michael Minn's anachronistic hard rock treatment layers irony on the twisted and deplorable tale."
David Lipfert (Curtain Up)

"Fringe Festival highlight."
Alisa Solomon (Village Voice)
