Star cast announced for Nassim Plays at Bush Theatre
The Bush Theatre is to host four of Iranian theatre-maker Nassim Soleimanpour’s plays this September. The plays will include Nassim, commissioned by the Bush Theatre directed by Omar Elerian and a Fringe First winner at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe; international hit White Rabbit Red Rabbit; BLANK (Bush Theatre’s RADAR 2015 and Edinburgh Fringe 2016) and new play Cook, co-created by Soleimanpour and Danish director Jesper Pedersen. The plays will play in repertory over two weeks. The works which require no rehearsals, no preparation, just a sealed envelope and a different actor each night reading a script for the first time.

Performers for the London run will include Tim Crouch, Hari Dhillon, Kate Fleetwood, Deborah Frances-White, Mel Giedroyc, Denise Gough, Paterson Joseph, Josie Lawrence, Andi Osho, Vinay Patel, Scottee, Meera Syal, Mark Thomas and Dominic West.
