THE FRINGE CONNTINUES - WHITE RABBIT/RED RABBIT

I'm skipping ahead to a show I really liked, White Rabbit/Red Rabbit. Perhaps you have seen it it. It was written ten years ago by the Iranian Playwright Nassim Soleimanpour and has been produced all around the world. https://www.nassimsoleimanpour.com/whiterabbitredrabbit  

But you probably haven't seen it and I won't be a spoiler. I'll just say that a script is handed in an envelope to an actor or actress who has never seen it. No rehearsals. The Fringe did it three times last weekend, each with a different performer, in this instance with the stunningly talented Jacquelyn Thompson. It involves life and death questions, audience participation, political freedoms and the reasons for writing. Might come back to this.
