White Rabbit Red Rabbit
5 performances, 5 actors, 1 totally unique show
It is often said of theatre that each performance is a unique event. Never will that have been more true than in the Mercury Studio Theatre from Tuesday 23 to Saturday 27 October at 7.45pm, where members of the Mercury Theatre Company will performWhite Rabbit Red Rabbit by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour.
Each performance will see a different Company actor do the bravest thing of their professional lives and step on to the stage to perform a script they have never seen before!
Tomos James, Emily Woodward, Tim Treslove, Tony Casement and Kelly Williams are the Company actors in question, each of whom knows nothing more about the play they are about to perform than the audience themselves.
Imagine being 29 and forbidden to leave your country. Nassim Soleimanpour dissects the experience of a whole generation in a wild, utterly original play from Iran . Forbidden to travel, he turns his isolation to his own advantage with a play that requires no director, no set and a different actor for every performance.
This is theatre at its most live, exciting and urgent and writer, Soleimanpour becomes a very real presence in the room, yet he’s miles away in Tehran …
In a change to usual Mercury Theatre policy audiences, will be invited to Facebook and Tweet about the show at designated points.
Tickets, priced £11 / £6.50 concessions, are available from the Mercury Theatre Box Office by calling 01206 573948 or online at www.mercurytheatre.co.uk
