"Nassim Soleimanpour's White Rabbit, Red Rabbit has become a hallmark of 'cold read' plays, where actors perform without prior knowledge of the script, responding live to prompts."
"The play remains a playful yet grimly fascinating look at everyday life under Iran's controlling regime, maintaining its relevance as the country is back in world news."
"The 2026 West End residency will feature a rotating cast of celebrities, including David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, and Riz Ahmed, with a schedule that is openly shared."
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit, an acclaimed play by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour, celebrates its 15th anniversary with a new West End run.

The play remains relevant, reflecting life under a controlling regime. The 2026 production will feature notable actors like David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker, running at the Duchess Theatre on Mondays for several months.
