NASSIM feat. Catherine McClements
No rehearsals. A script waiting on stage in a sealed box. Catherine McClements, plus the playwright himself.
Direct from Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes NASSIM – an audacious theatrical experiment, featuring a different performer each night, exploring the power of language to unite humanity in unknown, uncertain times.
This award-winning show by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour follows the hugely popular White Rabbit Red Rabbit series – written when Soleimanpour, a conscientious objector, was forbidden to leave his native Iran, travelling the show in his place. Translated into 25 different languages, White Rabbit Red Rabbit has been performed over 1,000 times by some of the biggest names in theatre and film including Sinead Cusack, Ken Loach and Whoopi Goldberg, and locally by the likes of Kat Stewart, Shaun Micallef, Celia Pacquola. Now living in Berlin and able to travel, NASSIM sees Soleimanpour join each performer on stage.
Catherine McClements will take a leap into the unknown on 27 January. Catherine McClements is an actress with a strong career across stage and screen. Recent television credits include Sisters, The Leftovers, The Beautiful Lie, Rake, Time of Our Lives, The Broken Shore, Wentworth, Rush and Showtime’s Tangle. On stage, Catherine most recently starred in Three Little Words for MTC.

Feedback/Comments
Best play EVER!!!
After seeing red rabbit white rabbit, it was awesome to actually see the author in another production, great story and audience engagement.
unusual concept that brings cross cultural ideas to life.
Loved the show.
Entertaining, funny, and some sweet/touching moments
Was very engaging, unusual, entruiging and entertaining.
So sorry I missed the show by getting the day mixed up!
Well done
Good but just missing something, not sure what to expect, enjoyable
Nassim is an amazing storytelling talent and tells it like it is with the help of an unwitting volunteer also talented sensitive and responsive to the moment. It was amazing to experience this unique performance and meeting of two people in public view who hadn't previously met I assume this was the case at least. Nassim, I hope he can call Australia home soon.
This play is enjoyable for its novelty. I never had a boring moment. Quite a few funny moments and engaging!
Excellent show
unusual and enjoyable
Interesting concept and enjoyable.
Different concept totally. Very entertaining. We enjoyed it.
Thought provoking and beautifully presented.
Interesting concept fun and different
Wonderful show,beautiful storytelling. Would be interesting to see it again with a different actor.
Very enjoyable, and nothing like I expected. Catherine was engaging and the audience seemed to be engaged the whole time.
Interesting concept, that didn’t quite work for me. However I don’t regret going
NASSIM was a pleasure. A delightful show!
light and enjoyable, but needed more substance. potential for more depth and meaning left unfulfilled
Extremely enjoyable show. Simple but clever concept which was obviously also enjoyed by the actor,in this instance Catherine McClements. Would be interesting to see the show presented with the different actors as reactions from them would also vary considerably. Would seriously recommend and the message from the show comes through very clearly.
Beautiful interactive storytelling with some fun and moving twists. Yeki bood yeki nabood...
Very different and fascinating concept
