Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit is coming to the West End and will run at @sohoplace for 24 performances only.
The show challenges a performer to open a sealed envelope on stage revealing a script for the first time. They are then required to perform the script without any direction or preparation. The show first premiered at the Edinburgh and SummerWorks festivals in 2011 and has since been performed over 3000 times all over the world by a range of performers.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit which mixes elements of comedy and tragedy, has been described as a reflection on power dynamics, not just in contemporary Iran, but across the world.
