White Rabbit Red Rabbit

Experimental Theatre

Premiered 2011

©2020 by Nassim Soleimanpour Productions

One of the most toured plays in the contemporary history of theatre! 

No rehearsals. No director. No set.


A different actor reads the script cold for the first time at each performance.

“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.

Since its joint premiere in 2011 in Edinburgh and Summerworks festival WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT has been translated into more than 30 different languages and been performed over 3000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film including actors John Hurt, Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, Marcus Brigstocke, Dominic West and film director Ken Loach.

In 2016, the Off-Broadway run of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT featured outrageous moments! To read more click here.

“A playful, enigmatic and haunting solo show by the Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour.”
