The play that no one knows — not even the actors

Written by Nassim Soleimanpour
Directed by everyone and no one
Starring a great mystery

Every night is opening night for the Fountain Theatre’s production of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, with 25 performers - actors, writers, teachers, artistic directors, community and faith leaders - announced to appear in the global sensation by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour. In this theater experience like no other, a different performer will step onto the stage at every performance and be handed a script they’ve never seen before. No rehearsal, no director. Wild and utterly original, White Rabbit Red Rabbit explores the restrictions, censorship and denial of individual choice faced under a harsh regime. It’s emotionally vulnerable at times, hilarious at others, and always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be present: spontaneous, playful, interactive and unpredictable. Join the Fountain team for a piece of baklava and a conversation in the upstairs café after every performance.
