White Rabbit Red Rabbit
Assembly Theatre Ltd. & Island Life Productions in association with Aurora Nova Present...
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 a work about contemporary Iran and of Nassim’s generation. A generation born amidst the hardship of the Iran-Iraq war. A generation of computer-literate, well-informed young people who have never known an Iran other than the Islamic Republic.
