Here’s an unusual contemporary play which blurs a true crime podcast with a thrilling ride down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia, Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World, based on a 1978 book by the French critic René Girard, delves into the unsolved murder of Iranian pop star Fereydoun Farrokhzad.
