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.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR White Rabbit Red Rabbit
Engaging and audacious
8 / 10
On press night, the text was interpreted by Nick Mohammed – perhaps best known under his uproariously funny, utterly obnoxious comic alter ego Mr Swallow. Though that character is overbearing and egotistical, here Mohammed displays striking generosity, dropping in just a few judicious comic pauses and nervous, sidelong looks to heighten the humour without ever disrespecting the play’s conceit or drawing focus from Soleimanpour’s text.
Catch this daring, one-off theatrical experience while you can
8 / 10
Mohammed nails both the humour and the sorrow. He takes the script at a lick, for the most part, but when one anecdote takes a particularly dark turn, he falls silent and walks for several paces against the slowly rotating stage, giving the revelation a moment to fully resonate. Tomorrow night’s actor will respond differently, as will whoever who picks up the envelope after them, and the actors who bravely sign up to future revivals in years to come. It’s a cleverly timeless piece, echoing authoritarian oppression the world over.

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.
