Reviews:
“This show will shock you to your core, but not necessarily in the way you think. It is a brilliant piece written and directed by, and starring William Thompson. The cast also included the lovely Willa Adaire, as well as George Parker and Mary Baker. Thompson’s story hits a nerve and provides a stirring look into a valid social issue. We don’t want to ruin the surprises in this show, but leave you with two words as a clue to what lies in store for you – Noises Off.”
-Bob Leggett – LA Music Critic
“I had heard mixed opinions about the piece and it will not be to everyone’s taste, but it is well worth catching if your fringe-fare is seeming a bit samey.
The production values seem unimpressive at first sight but end up being perfect.”
-Guy Picot – Fringe Review UK
“It’s theatre at its most intimidating and surreal, but without any of the flash. It’s challenging and compelling and unforgiving. The actors are absolutely excellent. They sell their stupefaction and their sublime horror… with shocking expertise… Each of them reacted with brilliant and perceptive elegance. Each of them owned everything they did on stage and the result was absolutely incredible… It is theatre far beyond the average.
It is clever and sad and interesting and devastating. Love, love, loved it!!!”

TUBEMAN Entertainment couldn't have been prouder to have been selected to participate in a pop-up theater event in association with Nassim Soleimanpour and Aurora Nova.
Will you participate? Will you be manipulated? Will you listen? Will you really listen?
With no rehearsals, no director, a different actor each night, and a script waiting in a
sealed envelope on stage, internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Iranian
writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder
of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre.
Forbidden to leave his native Iran, Soleimanpour wrote a play which travelled the world in
his place. The audience joins each different performer on a journey into the unknown;
stumbling upon the personal and profound, the limits of liberty and ultimately where
theatre can take you. Since its joint premiere in 2011, the play has been translated into
over 25 different languages and has been performed over 1000 times by some of the
biggest names in theatre and film, including actors Whoopi Goldberg, Nathan Lane, John
Hurt, Simon McBurney, Stephen Fry, Sinead Cusack, Marcus Brigstocke and Ken Loach.
Note: This play is NOT overtly political, and should not be portrayed as such. It operates
on a deeper, metaphoric level, and very expressly avoids overt political comment. All
media and press agents have to keep in mind that the playwright is an Iranian native. We
therefore ask the press to be judicious in their reportage.
