Imagine being 29 and forbidden to leave your country. Playwright Nassim Soleimanpour dissects the experience of an entire generation in an 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.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre. Hosted by Theatre Projects Manitoba
