Company of Fools presents WHITE RABBIT, RED RABBIT by Nassim Soleimanpour

Company of Fools continues its 21st season with White Rabbit, Red Rabbit- a wild, utterly original play from Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour that distills the experience of an entire generation. From October 27 to 29, 2016, the play will be performed six times over three nights at two different locations-the Liberty Theater in Hailey and The Center in Ketchum-and each performance of the play will feature a different actor.

Forbidden to leave Iran, playwright Nassim Soleimanpour tours the world through his words with this unique theatrical experience that makes the audience question everything. The play's bold gambit is that it is performed by a different actor for every performance - an actor who has not seen the text before she/he walks on the stage. No actor can do the play twice. There are no rehearsals, director, or set. A truly global phenomenon, the play been translated into over a dozen languages and performed hundreds of times in 17 countries across the globe. The New York Times calls White Rabbit Red Rabbit a "playful, enigmatic and haunting show," while Entertainment Weekly describes it as "a dazzling, transcendent piece of alive-and-kicking avant garde theatre."

Currently running off-Broadway, White Rabbit, Red Rabbit has attracted a rotating cast of acclaimed actors including Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, Patrick Wilson, Brian Dennehy, Wayne Brady, Mike Birbiglia, Cynthia Nixon, Kyra Sedgwick, Martin Short, Bobby Cannavale,David Hyde Pierce, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Alan Cumming and George Takei.
