Nassim Soleimanpour & Omar Elerian Launch West End Production Company 'There & Then' with 'White Rabbit Red Rabbit' Revival

Acclaimed Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour and director Omar Elerian have launched a new theatre production company, 'There & Then', signaling a fresh wave of innovative storytelling in the West End. Their inaugural production will be a revival of Soleimanpour's iconic play, "White Rabbit Red Rabbit," at the Duchess Theatre, presented in association with Nica Burns and Nimax Theatre Group. The play, known for its unique format where an actor performs it for the first time without prior knowledge of the script, has achieved global acclaim for its exploration of freedom and artistic resilience. This collaboration between Soleimanpour and Elerian, who previously directed the play in the UK, aims to foster bold, international narratives and champion unconventional theatrical experiences. The launch of 'There & Then' represents a significant move to enrich the theatre landscape with diverse voices and experimental works, promising an exciting future for groundbreaking productions.
