Forbidden to leave his country, young Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour found a way for his voice to get out when he physically could not. This wildly entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical piece - where no audience can see the same show twice - blends drama, comedy and social experiment, providing audiences with a potent reminder of the transformative power of theatre.

The play had its world premiere in 2011 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, winning the Arches Brick Award, followed by presentations at Summerworks and Dublin Fringe Festival where it was awarded "Outstanding New Performance" and "Best New Performance" respectively. The play has since been translated into fifteen different languages and performed over 200 times worldwide - from London to Oslo, Athens, Berlin, Melbourne and Singapore - by such stars as Michael Shannon, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Stephen Rea, Sinead Cusack, David Morse and more.

Tickets to performances of White Rabbit Red Rabbit with Bobby Cannavale (May 9), David Hyde Pierce (May 16), Shohreh Aghdashloo (May 23) and George Takei (June 13) are available exclusively to Audience Rewards members (www.audiencerewards.com) from Tuesday, April 5 through Thursday, April 7. Tickets to all other performances, and beginning Friday, April 8 for those four performers, are available via Telecharge.com/212-239-6200. The performance schedule is Monday evenings at 8:00pm.
