FURTHER CAST ANNOUNCED FOR CELEBRATORY 15TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION OF WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT IN THE WEST END
We aredelighted to announce further artists for Soleimanpour’s internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit in a celebratory 15th anniversary West End run. The boundary-pushing play marks our inaugural production, bringing together a multitude of artists from the worlds of theatre, TV, film and comedy who will each separately take on the unknown in a weekly Monday residency at the Duchess Theatre until 2 November 2026. Tickets are on sale now.
White Rabbit Red Rabbit sees a different performer take to the stage each night where they are presented with a sealed envelope. Inside is a script they have never seen before, which they will perform only once, with no rehearsal and no director. What follows is a singular, unrepeatable experience shaped entirely by how that performer embraces the unknown.
Who’s performing next?
Following our initial cast announcement for the first season of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, we’re excited to share the rotating cast for the next season of the production:
Munya Chawawa (The Sandman) on 3 August

Why is White Rabbit Red Rabbit so well known?
Since its premiere in 2011, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has become a global phenomenon. It has been performed over 4,000 times and translated into more than 25 languages across the globe.
The play was originally written under extraordinary circumstances, while Soleimanpour was unable to travel freely.
