With no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night, and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on stage, internationally acclaimed “White Rabbit, Red Rabbit” by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre.

“White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is an absurdist adventure which sits on the boundary of comedy and drama.” – Sarfraz Manzoor

Since its joint premiere in 2011 in Edinburgh and Summerworks festival “White Rabbit, Red Rabbit” has been translated into more than 30 different languages and been performed over 3000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film including actors John Hurt, Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, Marcus Brigstocke, Dominic West and film director Ken Loach.

URGENT: All media and press agents have to keep in mind that the playwright is an Iranian citizen. This play is NOT overtly political, and should not be portrayed as such. It operates on a deeper, metaphoric level, and very expressly avoids overt political comment. Any allusions to it being anti- government could, quite literally, endanger the playwright's life. We therefore ask the press to be judicious in their reportage.

White Rabbit, Red Rabbit was originally produced by Volcano Theatre in association with Necessary Angel and Wolfgang Hoffmann.
