Twisters star Daisy Edgar-Jones and Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd are among the actors in new West End production White Rabbit Red Rabbit.
The experimental drama, being staged at Soho Place in the West End, involves no rehearsal, no director, and a different actor each night who will have a script waiting in a sealed envelope on the stage.
The first show, on Tuesday October 1, will star comedian Nick Mohammed, and subsequent shows Horrible Histories actor Mathew Baynton, Waterloo Road’s Jill Halfpenny, Welsh actor Michael Sheen, Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie, Ben Bailey Smith, also known as “Doc Brown”, and Harry Potter’s Jason Isaacs.
Also in the mix is singer Olly Alexander, The Wheel Of Time’s Kate Fleetwood, Harry Potter star Alfred Enoch, comedian John Bishop, Skyfall’s Tonia Sotiropoulou, The Crown’s Sir Jonathan Pryce and Robin Hood actor Keith Allen.
There will also be performances from It’s A Sin star Omari Douglas, comedian Alan Davies, Miranda’s Sally Phillips, comedian Catherine Tate, Doctor Who star Freema Agyeman, Broadchurch actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, Skins star Joe Dempsie and The Beautiful Game actor Callum Scott Howells.
Edgar-Jones, 26, who is also known for starring in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People, will perform on Saturday October 5 at 3pm.
Gadd, 35, whose headline-hitting Netflix show catapulted him to fame earlier in the year, will be on stage at 6pm on Sunday October 13.
The theatre recommends that those above the age of 14 attend and has warned that “this is not for the faint of heart”.
The theatrical adventure from Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour will be staged at Soho Place from October 1 to October 19.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
