Theater: "Rabbit Hole" By David Lindsay-Abaire, Juilliard School, NYC


Directed by Rebecca Guy

David Lindsay-Abaire was a student in The Juilliard School’s Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program when co-director Marsha Norman urged him, “write about the thing that frightens you most.” Recalling this advice years later as a new father, he sat down and wrote Rabbit Hole. This deeply affecting play about a couple grappling with the loss of their young child is suffused with empathy and, surprisingly, with humor. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony nominee for Best Play.
