Award-winning international hit WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT to play in the West End
The international hit White Rabbit Red Rabbit challenges a fearless performer to take centre stage with no preparation, no director and no idea what will greet them as they open a sealed envelope and take out the script. The show will make its West End debut in a limited season at @sohoplace from 1 October.
The 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.
Each night a completely new adventure awaits - depending on how the author’s words compel each actor to perform. White Rabbit Red Rabbit is a theatrical adventure embracing comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience with some of the UK’s most extraordinary talents.
“I was born on Azar 19th, 1360 in Tehran. That’s Tehran, December 10th, 1981 in Christian years…”
Forbidden to leave his country, playwright Nassim Soleimanpour distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original play. White Rabbit Red Rabbit is as much about contemporary Iran as it is about power dynamics in the rest of the world.
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.”
Jamie Lambert said: “We are thrilled to be bringing this absolutely brilliant edge-of-your-seat piece to the newest West End theatre. Eliza and I are really proud of our colleague, Phoebe Noble, for working with Nassim to bring this incredible play to West End audiences. It’s really not one to miss – every night will be different, and it’s the type of theatre that will keep you on your toes throughout!”
