After touring the world for over a decade, fans of Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit will be delighted to hear that the seminal play is finally making its West End debut.

So, what is White Rabbit Red Rabbit about? Well, that really depending on which actor is tackling the one-person play on any given night.

Broadly, the play is a commentary on freedom, the theatre and the very nature of the performance, with plenty of audience participation thrown into the mix. It also touches on the political state of Soleimanpour’s home country Iran, as well as the wider world.

However, there's a pretty major twist. The play is not to be performed by the same actor twice, and each actor who takes part encounters the script for the first time in a sealed envelope on stage.

What results is an incredibly intimate and unpredictable piece of theatre. Each actor's response to the work is different, therefore each performance is different.
