About Time Theatre Company's first show of 2026 will be White Rabbit, Red Rabbit. Performed April 1 - 4, 2026, at xBk The Annex.
A unique, internationally acclaimed play by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, known for its radical format: a different actor performs it for the first time, with no rehearsal, no director, and no prior knowledge of the script, using a sealed envelope to guide them through a surreal, allegorical journey about power, obedience, and censorship, often involving the audience in surprising choices. It's a powerful, ever-changing theatrical experiment that functions as a "message in a bottle" from a generation under restriction, exploring themes of freedom, storytelling, and moral choice.
There will be 7 performances of White Rabbit Red Rabbit, with a different performer at each one. Stay tuned for future updates on where to get tickets and the cast lineup!
