White Rabbit, Red Rabbit

The Theatrical Event Of The Year

With Jason Issacs or Catherine Tate or Daisy Edgar Jones or Michael Sheen or Olly Alexander...
A host of stars of stage and screen and beyond descend on @sohoplace to step into Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour's internationally renowned White Rabbit, Red Rabbit. This utterly original show has no director, set or rehearsals. Instead, the play's sole performer is handed the script for the first time as they step onto the stage. Exploring themes of obedience and convention, this unique concept allows the actor and audience to discover the play at the same time, and for the writer's voice to be rendered completely differently at every single performance. 

Created by Nassim Soleimanpour in 2010, during a time when he was barred from leaving Iran for being a conscientious objector. Unable to travel, he sent the play abroad in his stead, and it's since been performed the world over and translated into over a dozen languages. Nassim finally gained a passport in 2012, and finally saw White Rabbit Red Rabbit live for the first time a year later in Brisbane, Australia.
