Nassim Soleimanpour is an Iranian playwright whose new play NASSIM is currently being presented by Barrow Street Theatricals at New York City Center Stage II. NASSIM has previously played to sold-out audiences across the globe and features a unique set-up of a new guest actor at each performance who has not read or rehearsed the play. Soleimanpour previously explored this concept in his play WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, which ran Off-Broadway for nine months in 2016. So far in its run, NASSIM has been performed by guest actors such as Michael Urie, Tatiana Maslany, Beth Malone, Ethan Slater, Kate Walsh and many more. Nassim Soleimanpour talked to BroadwayWorld about working with these amazing guest artists, how NASSIM differs from WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, and the difficult process that almost didn't allowed him to be in the country for the play's American premiere.

The work of Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour was produced as a part of a New European Theatre Festival in Moscow. There is no director. There are no rehearsals, costumes, decorations. Only the words of Soleimanpour and the performer's presence and voice. The chosen people to read the script for this festival were actors Sergey Yepishev, Alexey Yudnikov and Anatoly Bely, activist Anton Krasovsky, actresses Alisa Grebenshchikova and Yuliya Aug, writer and journalist Mikhail Zygar (I saw his performance).

In a city where hundreds of theatre productions are produced every year before audiences who encourage artists to experiment beyond the norm, it takes a lot for a play in New York to be regarded as unconventional.
