As previously announced Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit is coming to the West End this October. The show has announced today that some new big names will be joining and the run has been extended through to November due to phenomenal demand.

White Rabbit Red Rabbit first premiered at the Edinburgh and SummerWorks festivals in 2011 and has since been performed over 3000 times all over the world by a range of performers.
