White Rabbit, Red Rabbit

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.

REVIEW: Fringe Review (Brighton)

***** Five Stars
May 4, 2012, Fringe Review (full article)

"...an eerie sensation. Nassim Soleimanpour remains in Iran, but his presence hovers over the stage and it feels like he's here with us now...a testament to the power of theatre and of the written word."

"...a sharp lesson in personal responsibility. "If you are a passing viewer of this suicide, you are more of a sinner than me" says Nassim...I still worry about that, and several audience members I talked to afterwards did too."

"...it was a stunning piece of theatre, thought-provoking and morally unsettling. It's a wonderful testament to the power of words to transcend cultures and borders. It fully deserves five stars."

Congrats, Nassim!

White Rabbit, Red Rabbit is at the Brighton Fringe until May 9.
