White Rabbit Red Rabbit in London

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. First performed in 2011, White Rabbit Red Rabbit was written while Soleimanpour was forbidden to leave Iran. Playful, poignant and unsettling, the play explores obedience, choice and freedom of expression - and the fragile contract between performer and audience. It has been performed 4000 times and translated into over 25 different languages.

It is the first solo production from There & Then, a new theatre company created by Soleimanpour and Elerian, which aims to present unique theatrical experiences in the UK and internationally, working with artists, performers, and communities worldwide to create genre-defying, boundary-pushing shows that respond to our rapidly changing global climate. This year, on the 15th anniversary of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, the show will feature an exciting and star-studded roster of performers, including David Harewood (Othello), David Tennant (Rivals), Jo Joyner (Little Disasters), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing), Luke Thompson (Bridgerton), Jodie Whittaker (Toxic Town), Kathryn Hunter (Poor Things), Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory), Archie Madekwe (Steal), and Riz Ahmed (Bait). Don't miss your chance to see these incredible talents take on an acting challenge of a lifetime.

Book now to experience this truly unique, one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.

Was it an interesting social/acting experiment or political commentary?

Fascinating - glad I went but not sure if a) the material was strong enough and b) whether the descent into pure comedy was the desired effect. Would love to see how other actors presented it. But that's just it …it’s personal interpretation and the writer has handed it over. A lot of ad lib with Mel G even when ‘the story’ got going. She is brilliant at holding an audience and her quick thinking brain was evident in her jokes but we did go round the houses and she was evidently uncomfortable with a couple of the ‘old fashioned comments’. What about giving it to unknown actors/amdram. Famous actors maybe feel the need to do something with it. Love the concept. Brave and great to experience something different. No music/costumes. One set lighting and a couple of things on stage for the actors/audience to use.
