White Rabbit Red Rabbit's Star-Studded West End Debut

Published Mon, 19 August 2024

Nassim Soleimanpour's critically acclaimed play White Rabbit Red Rabbit is set to make its highly anticipated West End debut at the brand-new @sohoplace theatre. Running from October 1 to 19, the production offers a limited engagement of 24 performances, each featuring a different star from an all-star lineup.

The play, which has toured globally for over a decade, presents a unique theatrical challenge: the performer takes the stage without prior rehearsal, opening a sealed envelope to reveal the script for the first time in front of the audience. This unconventional format has intrigued audiences around the world, with over 3,000 performances in more than 30 languages.

The rotating cast includes notable names such as Michael Sheen, Freema Agyeman, Olly Alexander, Jonathan Pryce, and Catherine Tate, ensuring a fresh and dynamic experience every night. White Rabbit Red Rabbit explores themes of power and control, offering a blend of comedy and tragedy that resonates universally. Soleimanpour describes it as "personal but universal, funny yet very political," a reflection of contemporary global issues.

First premiered in 2011, the play has been performed by esteemed actors like Whoopi Goldberg and Nathan Lane, and continues to captivate with its bold, thought-provoking narrative.
