NASSIM
- A Bush Theatre (UK) and Nassim Soleimanpour production
- By Nassim Soleimanpour
- A co-production with Boom Arts
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits, unseen, in a sealed box... Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
“One of the most unique and touching experiences I've ever had!” –PCS Audience Member
“NASSIM speaks eloquently of living and working in a place with a language not your own.” –The New York Times
