Unfolding in nine stiletto episodes set in government offices in Tehran, Terrestrial Verses is a brilliant, sharp and devastating black comedy about the impossibility of ordinary life in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami’s satire focuses on ordinary citizens navigating the absurdity of bureaucratic restrictions designed to make everyone crazy. And then the inevitable happens. A New York Times Critic’s Pick.
