A mysterious night at the theatre — where anything could happen.
Imagine arriving at the theatre not knowing who will walk on stage. The performer doesn’t know what will be asked of them. And no one—not even the actor—knows how the evening will unfold.
Past performances overseas have seen the likes of Emilia Clarke, Meera Syal, Fiona Shaw and Benedict Wong take the stage. Who will take on the challenge, next?
That’s the magic of ECHO, a bold and captivating new work from acclaimed Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (White Rabbit, Red Rabbit). Each performance features a different actor, stepping onto the stage for the first time, with the script waiting in a sealed envelope.
No rehearsals. No preparation. Just pure theatre—raw, elegant, and utterly unpredictable.
As the story unfolds, a great mystery is revealed. Is the playwright really speaking to us live from Berlin? Or is something else going on? ECHO is a theatrical puzzle that will keep you thinking long after the lights go down.
For those who enjoy beautiful storytelling with a touch of intrigue, ECHO promises a night of suspense, surprise, and something truly one-of-a-kind.
