White Rabbit Red Rabbit
Review by Ernest Goes To The Theatre/Ernest Edwards
I was at Lyrics Arts last night for the opening night performance of the play White Rabbit Red Rabbit. It’s a play written by Nassim Soleimanpur.
This is going to be short review. Similar to when I went to see the play Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and The Mousetrap, I need to keep the secret.
This was a unique theatrical experience for me. The nature of the play is that the actor has never read the script before and there has been no rehearsals either. Lyric Arts has a different performer for every performance for the entire run of the play. The production runs through November 2, 2025. There’s 9 actors/actresses scheduled throughout the run. If time allowed, I would definitely see this play again to see how it is with a different performer and a different audience. (See below image for the dates and actor/actress that is scheduled).
For opening night, the actor was Tyler Michaels King, and he was making his Lyric Arts debut last night. The play begins with the artistic director of Lyric Arts handing an envelope with the script in it to the actor. The actor has never seen it before, and is experiencing it for the first time with the audience. In an effort to have this review be spoiler free, I will not be going into any further details about the play. You just have to go and experience in person yourself.
This was a wonderful and magical night out at the theatre. Definitely an experience that I will never forget.
