Synopsis

BST is proud to present Rabbit Hole, a stunning, poignant and humorous play by award winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Becca (Anjanett Hawk-Johnson) and Howie (Vincent Raye) are struggling to regain their lives after a tragic accident has turned their world upside down. Eight months after their 4-year-old son Danny was hit by a car, the couple find themselves drifting perilously apart. Each is at a different stage in their grieving process. Becca seems to want to rid the house of any memory of Danny while Howie wants to obsessively hold on to anything he can.

Despite the tragic circumstances, their journey through grief is often filled with humor and laughter. Becca’s younger sister Izzy (Stephanie Byars) is a very outspoken free spirit whose unconventional antics bring a breath of fresh air into their lives. Equally outspoken and opinionated is their mother Nat (Rita Heizer) who has her own views of life and death. Ultimately, the family’s healing may come through the most unlikely person. Becca forms an unexpected friendship with Jason (Stephen Seder), the teenager who was driving the car that killed Danny. An aspiring science fiction writer, Jason gives Becca and Howie a copy of his story which he dedicated to Danny. He shares his idea on a little-known astro physics theory that affects Becca profoundly.

It is ironically the boy who was a part of their darkest hours who may be the key to bringing them all back into the light of day. Rabbit Hole, the Pulitzer Prize winner of 2007, is an exceptionally well written play that explores the grief, pain and even humor of people faced with an unimaginable situation and captures their capacity for perseverance and redemption. It is also being made into a movie starring Nicole Kiddman that will be released sometime next year. Rabbit Hole has very strong and possibly offensive language and adult situations and may not be appropriate for sensitive audience members. Tickets go on sale to season ticket holders on December 9th and go on sale to the general public on December 16th. Tickets prices are $16 for adults and $12 for students. Don’t miss this brilliant play.
