By Nassim Soleimanpour

Artistic Produced by Co-Artistic Director Jacqueline Stone

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 as much about contemporary Iran as it is about power dynamics in the rest of the world.
