Experimental drama at its best. See what happens with no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage.
Each night a completely new adventure awaits - depending on how and where the actor takes the piece. Internationally acclaimed “White Rabbit Red Rabbit”, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is a theatrical absurdist adventure that sits right on the edge of comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience with some of the most celebrated international talent, you don’t want to miss this theatrical event of the year at the stunning Soho Place.
Beyond its simple gimmick, White Rabbit Red Rabbit remains a refreshingly authentic piece of theatre in a time when even the most improvised works have an element of rehearsal. Taking basic concepts of human nature and flipping them on our heads, I was on the edge of my seat for this press performance.
Reviewers are also requested to keep the secrets of White Rabbit Red Rabbit. But what I can say is that it deals in themes of oppression, identity and what it means to be free. Animal metaphors are used as the foundation of the story; they are poignant but also bewildering, which is part of Soleimanpour’s plan. Like the actor each evening, the audience also has to experience the theatrical unknown.
