Every Monday night, a different performer takes to the Duchess Theatre stage for a play with no rehearsals. The performer has never read what they will be acting out on stage — instead, they'll be handed an envelope containing a script they must perform for the first and only time in front of that evening’s audience.

Now in its 15th year, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has since been performed over 4,000 times and translated into over 25 different languages.
