"With Rabbit Hole, David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted the most serious, simply told work of his career--a painstakingly beautiful, dramatically resourceful, exquisitely human new play."
-Backstage
A story of loss, heartbreak and forgiveness--told through daily moments and emotional hurdles--as a family moves on after the accidental death of their 4-year-old.
After a critically acclaimed Broadway premier and successful film adaptation (starring Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, and Diane West), Rabbit Hole has been hailed as an artistic breakthrough for the highly regarded Lindsay-Abaire.
A drama of what comes after tragedy, it captures "the awkwardness and pain of thinking people faced with an unthinkable situation--and eventually, their capacity for survival."
