Stage East presents Maine’s premiere production of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, the award-winning play by Nassim Soleimanpour, October 10-12.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit was first performed in 2011 and has since had over 1,000 performances worldwide. Unlike most plays, the actor does not see the show or read the script until it is handed over on stage. There are no rehearsals—just a brave performer and an audience who experience the play for the first time simultaneously. There will be three performances by Stage East, with a different performer each time.
“We would like to tell you what happens in this play but we can’t,” says director Sarah Dalton-Phillips. “Each performance will have a different solo actor reading the play for the first time. Written symbolically, it avoids overt politics.”
The playwright, Nassim Soleimanpour, wrote White Rabbit Red Rabbit to travel the world when he was unable to. Spread by email, blogging, and social media, this intriguing and innovative play has received critical acclaim worldwide and been performed by stars such as Cynthia Nixon, Nathan Lane, and Darren Criss.
