Nassim Soleimanpour’s international hit White Rabbit Red Rabbit opens in the West End for a limited season this year with an all-star cast. The show opens at @sohoplace from 1 October.

The rotating performers include Freema Agyeman, Olly Alexander, Keith Allen, Mathew Baynton, John Bishop, Alan Davies, Daisy Edgar Jones, Joe Dempsie, Omari Douglas, Alfred Enoch, Kate Fleetwood, Richard Gadd, Jill Halfpenny, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Jason Isaacs, Pearl Mackie, Nick Mohammed, Sally Phillips, Jonathan Pryce, Michael Sheen, Callum Scott Howells, Ben Bailey Smith, Tonia Sotiropoulou, and Catherine Tate.

Soleimanpour’s provocative show has been performed over 3,000 times worldwide in more than 30 languages and challenges the performers to create a new show every night, as they take to the stage without preparation or direction and open a sealed envelope to reveal a previously unseen script.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit premiered at the Edinburgh and SummerWorks festival in 2011 and has been performed by some of the biggest names in theatre and film including Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, Cynthia Nixon, John Hurt, F. Murray Abraham, Dominic West, and film director Ken Loach.

Nassim Soleimanpour 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.”
