Have you been searching for a West End show with a difference? Well you're in luck; White Rabbit Red Rabbit is coming to Soho Place this October.

This show has been performed over 3,000 times across the globe, however this will be the first time it's come to London's West End.

For those unfamiliar with the show, it's a notorious challenge to a performer as each actor in the one-person play takes to the stage without any rehearsal or direction. Oh, and once on stage, they'll open a sealed envelope which contains the previously unseen script.

The script, which brings together elements of comedy and tragedy, draws on the themes of power dynamics, freedom, control and the nature of theatre, as well as playwright Nassim Soleimanpour.

The unique part of the play lies in each actor's raw response to and interpretation of the previously unseen script.

There's an explosive list of names set to star in this production, with big players from across the acting and comedy world. Expect to see performers like Freema Agyeman (Doctor Who), Matthew Baynton (Horrible Histories), Daisy Edgar Jones (Normal People), Olly Alexander (It's a Sin) and Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), just to name a few, taking to the stage.

And it just keeps getting bigger, as White Rabbit Red Rabbit has announced an extended run in the West End. Expect more big names, this time including Adjoa Andoh (Doctor Who, Bridgerton), Miriam Margolyes (Harry Potter), Paloma Faith and more.

The unpredictability of this play has made this a wildly popular and unmissable piece of theatre that stays fresh each time it's performed. It's innovative, interactive and completely unique every time – here's everything you need to know.
