White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a boundary-pushing production created by acclaimed Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (ECHO, NASSIM) and directed by award-winning director Omar Elerian (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Rhinoceros), in which a different performer takes the stage every night. Each one is presented with a sealed envelope containing a script they have never seen before, which they go on to perform only once, with no rehearsal and no director.

Upcoming performances will see Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing) performing on 29 June; Luke Thompson (Bridgerton) on 6 July; Jodie Whittaker (Toxic Town) on 13 July; Kathryn Hunter (Poor Things) on 20 July; Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory) on 27 July; Munya Chawawa (The Sandman) on 3 August; Ginger Johnson (RuPaul’s Drag Race) on 10 August; Mel Giedroyc (Unforgivable) on 24 August; Adam Buxton (The Adam and Joe Show) on 7 September; Archie Madekwe (Steal) on 21 September; Christopher Eccleston (The Leftovers) on 28 September; Steve Pemberton (Inside No.9) on 5 October; Nish Kumar (The Mash Report) on 19 October and John Bradley (Game of Thrones) on 26 October.
