No rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage…….

“I was born on Azar 19th, 1360 in Tehran. That’s Tehran, December 10th, 1981 in Christian years…”
Forbidden to leave his country, playwright Nassim Soleimanpour distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original play. White Rabbit Red Rabbit is as much about contemporary Iran as it is about power dynamics in the rest of the world.
Since its joint premiere in 2011 at the Edinburgh and SummerWorks festival, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has been translated into more than 30 different languages and been performed over 3,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film including Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, Cynthia Nixon, John Hurt, F. Murray Abraham, Dominic West and film director Ken Loach.
Nassim Soleimanpour said, “It is personal but universal. Funny yet very political. And so timely for the world we live in. We are so excited to present it at this time and in such great company.”
