Interesting. Very much enjoyed ECHO at RC recently so happy to book for this. Would have liked Jason Isaacs but can't make that date so Daisy Edgar Jones will do nicely indeed.

[thistimetomorrow]

booked 2 dates for this, but honestly would've liked to see at least half of these names on stage

[theatreloverlondon]

This is incredible and so affordable Anyone know the run time?? Booked two dates already

65 minutes, no interval

[andrew]

I've not seen this before, would maybe have gone Jonathan Pryce but can't make his date, thankfully I can do Jason Isaacs.

[Marwood]

At first glance of that list, I saw Jason Isaacs and Olly Alexander and got overexcited and merged the 2 so for about 2 seconds thought it was Jason Alexander and I could tick someone off the Seinfeld bucket list 🤣 but after taking time to actually peruse the list, I’ve gone for the Jonathan Pryce show (have wanted to see him on stage ever since he did Brazil almost 40 years ago 😐)

[drmaplewood]

Thanks for this, booked for Jason Isaacs.

[Jon]

Managed to snap up the last £20 ticket for the performance with Daisy Edgar-Jones. Kind of want to book a performance with one of the male performers as well.

Michael Sheen or HELLO to Jason Isaacs for me.

Michael Sheen seems to have sold the best although I'm guessing it might be press night.

[zahidf]

Got a ticket for the Richard Gadd performance

Experimental drama at its best. See what happens with no rehearsal, no director, a different actor each night and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage.

Each night a completely new adventure awaits – depending on how the author’s words compel each actor to perform. Internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is a theatrical adventure embracing comedy and tragedy. An edge of your seat experience with some of the UK’s most extraordinary talent, you don’t want to miss this theatrical event of the year.

“I was born on Azar 19th, 1360 in Tehran. That’s Tehran, December 10th, 1981 in Christian years…”

Forbidden to leave his country, playwright Nassim Soleimanpour distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original play. White Rabbit Red Rabbit is as much about contemporary Iran as it is about power dynamics in the rest of the world.

Since its joint premiere in 2011 in Edinburgh and SummerWorks festival, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has been translated into more than 30 different languages and been performed over 3,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film.

Daisy Edgar Jones's performance has sold really well, Michael Sheen is basically sold out but there wasn't much availability in the first place, Catherine Tate's performance is the next best sold after those two.

Joe Dempsie's slot at 5pm on Saturday 19th October looks the most doable for a middle slot in a three show day lol.

Plus, I've never seen him do theatre as far as I can remember.

I don’t think it would qualify as theatrical but I saw him do a q&a after a Game of Thrones screening a few years (with Jacob Anderson if I remember correctly) 🤣

[mattnyc]

Oh, I’d kill to see Jason Isaacs onstage!

I saw this a number of years ago off-Broadway with Kathy Najimy and while I remember nothing about it I do think I enjoyed it.

[jr]

Sally Philips!

[Jon]

You can tell which actors are a draw just from how well their performance has sold. I didn't realise Jason Isaacs was so popular!

Probably because of Harry Potter fans: has he done anything on stage in recent years?

[kallyloo]

No but he was in Star Trek Discovery, which has presumably garnered him more fans, along with his legend in the Kermode podcast.

He did "The Dumb Waiter" with Lee Evans at Trafalgar Studios in 2007. Not too recent even if it feels like it lol.

I mean all these are great and that but what's the play actually about?

It is a monologue?

[jm25]

What great names! Slightly late to the party on this but delighted I was able to nab one of the last tickets for the Jonathan Pryce performance.

That’s the one I’ve gone for, thought they might struggle to fill it for Jonathan Pryce but looking on TodayTix just now, there was only seat on offer.
