WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT Opens This Month at Alley Theatre
The Alley Theatre will present Nassim Soleimanpour's unique play White Rabbit Red Rabbit for four performances - July 20, July 27, August 3 and August 10.
The New York Times calls White Rabbit Red Rabbit a "playful, enigmatic and haunting solo show," while Entertainment Weekly describes it as "a dazzling, transcendent piece of alive-and-kicking avant-garde theater." The lively play is the international hit by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour. Forbidden to leave Iran, Soleimanpour distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original play. He tours the world through his words with this unique theatrical experience that makes the audience question everything. Receiving the script in a sealed envelope for the first time onstage, the actor and audience embark on a surprising journey where anything can happen.
With no director and no rehearsal, a different member of the Alley's Resident Company reads the script cold for the first time at each performance in front of a live audience. Alley Resident Company actors James Black, Elizabeth Bunch, Chris Hutchison, and Melissa Pritchett will each tackle this daring and slyly humorous play that is unlike anything audiences have experienced before. Tickets are on sale now and can be ordered online ( alleytheatre.org) or by phone (713.220.5700).
White Rabbit Red Rabbit has been performed more than a thousand times worldwide and has been translated into more than 20 languages.
