🐇❤️ THANK YOU - WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT 2026 ❤️🐇

We have officially completed our short run of WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, a truly one-of-kind theatrical experience.

The biggest thank you to those who came out to support what was quite possibly the most unique work that has been presented in Newcastle, your support meant the absolute world to all of us involved with the production. You had no clue what you were in for, much like Jack & Dez, but you bought a ticket and you came to see the show anyway, and for that we are eternally grateful.

Our 2026 season did not turn out as intended. Producing theatre is harder than ever, but we took a risk with this play, and it truly paid off. Thank you again to all those who came to see this work.

Special thank you to Jack Madden and Dez Robertson for your incredible performances and total willingness to take on such a crazy challenge. And to Miles Punch for being a great help, as always, with everything technical.

We now begin preparation for our 2027 season, which is already looking incredibly exciting with the previously announced SHAKESBEER: A DRUNKEN READING OF ROMEO & JULIET along with some very exciting titles that we will announce in due time!

If you did come along, be sure to keep the secret of what the show entails so everyone else can have the same blind experience as you. And who knows, maybe the Rabbit will be returning sooner than you think…

THANK YOU, NEWCASTLE! 🐇🤫🪜

Forbidden to leave his country, playwright Soleimanpour distills the experience of an entire generation in this wild, utterly original play. A remarkable theatrical experience where a different actor each night is presented a script sealed in an envelope, the play can never be performed by the same actor ever again.

It’s the true meaning of one-night-only. Each actor has just one chance. No do-overs. No repeats. No encores.

WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT is a theatrical experiment delving into the big topics of freedom, authority, obedience, responsibility, life, death, and everything in between.

🐇 THIS WEEKEND: 2 SHOWS ONLY 🐇

Less than 20 tickets remain for the entire season, head to the link in our bio and book yours now!

Two actors have been hand picked to take part in the opportunity of a lifetime: they will, one of them at each performance, take to the stage to perform a piece of text which they have never read, never researched, and truly know nothing about. The audience, who are also asked to not research the work, are invited into the room to watch the actor take on the challenge and support them - by any means necessary…

It’s the true meaning of one-night-only. Each actor has just one chance. No do-overs. No repeats. No encores.

Would you believe it’s been one month since we opened our sold-out run of @shoptalkmusical?

From first read to tech to performance, it was a wonderful journey filled with laughter, love, collaboration, and passion, and we can’t wait to see what 2027 has in store for us and the rest of Newy theatre!

(PS: look up Thesperanto on YouTube to relive some of the magic and the music of SHOPTALK!)

Presented by Hyde Entertainment in association with Nassim Soleimanpour Productions

🐇 ABOUT THE SHOW 🐇
WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT is, most simply described as, a theatrical experiment. Three actors have been hand picked to take part in the opportunity of a lifetime: they will, one of them at each performance, take to the stage to perform a piece of text which they have never read, never researched, and truly know nothing about. The audience, who are also asked to not research the work, are invited into the room to watch the actor take on the challenge and support them - by any means necessary…

Forbidden to leave his country, award-winning Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour distilled the experience of an entire generation in a wild, utterly original text. His words have escaped censorship and are awaiting both actor and audience. Slyly humorous and audaciously pointed, this ‘theatre entertainment meets social experiment’ is unlike anything you have ever seen, and will ever see, and will make you question everything.

This October, the renowned theatrical experience arrives in Newcastle for 3 performances only. We offer you, the audience, the same instruction as provided to the 3 unique actors - do not research this play. Give yourself over to the theatrical mystery. Let your guard down. Trust the rabbit.

“A deeply moving and, at times, thrilling theatrical experiment” - Theatre Weekly

Tickets are extremely limited and are on sale NOW via the link in our bio. Casting details, including which performer is scheduled to appear at which show, will be announced very soon.

Over a week since we showcased the new and original musical: “SHOPTALK” from the funny and clever mind of @thejackmadden 🎭🏪

Working on this was incredible and I’m so glad to have been a part of such an amazing cast and story, and the songs were absolutely banging, big BIG round of applause as well to the behind the scenes minds behind this @imyblinky @pagetalkz and @jinglemusi and everyone included in this sold out show!

Thanks again for poaching me all those years back, playing Jacob was the role I was born for 😏
