An audacious theatrical experiment

An actor goes through several rehearsals before staging a play.

And after witnessing the exemplary performance one can imagine the rigorous regimen an actor must have undergone to deliver such a performance.

Now picture this; No rehearsals! No director! A different actor comes on stage for each performance, who receives the script on stage! Yes, you have read it right!

'White Rabbit Red Rabbit' has this unique concept where the actors get the script on stage and he has to put out his soul on the dais without any rehearsals.

'White Rabbit Red Rabbit' is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning play by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour.

It is a bold theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre.

Forbidden to leave his native Iran, Soleimanpour wrote a play which travelled the world in his place.

The audience joins each performer on a journey into the unknown; stumbling upon the personal and profound.

Since its joint premiere in 2011, the play has been translated into over 25 different languages and has been performed over 1000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film, including actors Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, John Hurt, Simon McBurney, Stephen Fry, Sinead Cusack, Marcus Brigstocke and Ken Loach.

And by Anurag Kashyap, Richa Chaddah, Rajit Kapur, Arundhati Nag, Atul Kumar, Manav Kaul, Geetanjali Kulkarni and Yuki Ellias in India.

Break a Leg, a non-profit initiative that promotes theatre and is a think tank for events that create new audiences for the craft.

It presents 'White Rabbit Red Rabbit' in Hyderabad and it will be staged on March 29 at 8 pm at Lamakaan, Banjara Hills.

The play will be performed for the first time in Hindi by popular theatre actor, director Vinay Varma.
