Experimental drama at its best. See what happens with no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage.Each night a completely new adventure awaits – depending on how the author’s words compel each actor to perform. Internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is a theatrical adventure embracing comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience with some of the UK’s most extraordinary talent, you don’t want to miss this theatrical event of the year.
“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 3,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film.
Please note: age guidance of 14+ is recommended. This is not for the faint of heart. There are many themes in this show that are designed to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and think for many days to come.
📍 Venue Description : # The new state-of-the-art @sohoplace Theatre
@sohoplace is London’s first newly built West End theatre in 50 years and has risen from what was once considered to be a neglected area of Soho. What began as a 12 year project now stands finished and proud as an exciting and modern theatre house with state-of-the-art facilities. @sohoplace is owned by Nica Burns and operated by Nimax Theatres. @sohoplace is surrounded by excellent transport links, as it sits directly above Crossrail’s new Elizabeth line and the Northern and Central lines.
The theatre adds an abundance of character to the already vibrant West End Landscape. It was constructed to have a flexible auditorium, with the aim of audience and stage intimacy alongside perfect acoustics (with no vibrations). It also includes a bar, a rehearsal room, a green room and even a lavish terrace!
## The seating arrangements of @sohoplace
Aside from its wonderful acoustics, @sohoplace has perfect sightlines from every seat, with no obscured views. In spite of having a 602 seat auditorium, no seat is further than six rows from the stage, meaning audiences can have a closer view of the actors in a more intimate setting. Its curved auditorium connects the audience and actors with what, in theatre terms, is called ‘the hug’. Perhaps its main selling point is the flexibility of the auditorium, which has the ability to be transformed into a number of different configurations.
### The construction of @sohoplace
@sohoplace and its surrounding areas are part of a three-hundred million pounds property regeneration that totals 285,000 square feet. The theatre sits at the heart of the mixed development, surrounded by offices, a piazza and retail stores, making it a bustling hub for theatre lovers and the general public alike!
