Our intimate, in-the-round auditorium is perfect for such a collaborative performer and audience experience. We will all be in the moment together, close up and personal."
White Rabbit Red Rabbit in London is by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour. The interactive play was written to comment on Soleimanpour's absence, as he was unable to leave Iran at the time of its writing because he refused to undertake the national service. This play expertly balances comedy and tragedy as it explores themes of freedom and control.
"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," said Nassim Soleimanpour Productions.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a play that premiered in 2011 at the SummerWorks festival in Edinburgh. The show has sincebeen performed over 3,000 times worldwide and translated into 30 languages. Many notable actors have starred in the show, including Whoopi Goldberg, Cynthia Nixon, Stana Katic, Wayne Brady, Bobby Cannavale, and Brian Dennehy.
