About White Rabbit Red Rabbit
Experimental drama at its best. See what happens with no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage.
Each night a completely new adventure awaits – depending on how the author’s words compel each actor to perform. Internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is a theatrical adventure embracing comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience with some of the UK’s most extraordinary talent, you don’t want to miss this theatrical event of the year.
“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.”

More information about White Rabbit Red Rabbit
White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a play that was written to comment on playwright Nassim Soleimanpour's absence because, at the time of the play's writing, he was unable to leave his home country of Iran due to refusing to join Iran's national service. This play, which toes the line between drama and comedy, explores power dynamics, freedom, and control. The show has earned numerous awards, including the Dublin Fringe Festival Best New Performance and Summerworks Outstanding New Performance Text Award.
Nassim Soleimanpour Productions 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."
The play, which premiered in 2011 at the SummerWorks festival in Edinburgh, was an instant sensation. The show has since been performed over 3,000 times worldwide and translated into 30 languages.
What to watch for
- Since its premiere, this play has been performed by many big-name actors, including Whoopi Goldberg, Cynthia Nixon, Stana Katic, Wayne Brady, Bobby Cannavale, and Brian Dennehy.
- Going on stage, the actor doesn't know the play or the script, so when they open the envelope with the script, they infuse their own interpretations into the story—causing every performance to be wholly unique.
- The play has no set, allowing the actors' talent, creativity, and interpretation to be on full display.
- As Soleimanpour told The Guardian the year after the play premiered, "It began with a nightmare seven years ago that I killed myself on stage in front of an audience that included my parents."
