"Fringe by nature is a play you discover people," Fringe director Julian Caddy told us. White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is an extraordinary piece of theatre written by young Iranian author Nassim Soleimanpour (who can't travel to perform it himself because of Iranian laws). Performed by a different actor at each show, none of whom have ever seen the script before stepping onto the stage, the play is sharp, political, and ab-crunchingly funny."
Imagine being 29 and unable to leave your country. Iranian Nassim Soleimanpour dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play. He turns his isolation to his advantage with a play that requires no director, no set, and a different actor for each performance. Volcano Theatre co-produced the world premiere of White Rabbit, Red Rabbit in 2011, shown simultaneously at SummerWorks and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It is now playing around the world.
