Sandy Actors Theatre’s final offering of the season is Rabbit Hole, playing June 1- June 24. This Pulitzer Prize winning drama, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, is a thought provoking and emotional experience containing strong language and adult content.
Once again the focus is on the family—in this case, Becca and Howie who have lost their 4 year old son to a tragic car accident and seem to have lost their own way in the aftermath. Contributing characters are Izzy, the younger sister who perhaps doesn’t “deserve” to be pregnant, and Becca’s mother, who spends way too much time trying to talk it out. Finally, there is Jason, the 17 year old who drove the car that fatal day. He keeps trying to insert himself into the family to reach out, make confession, gain absolution and ultimately provide comfort.
Rabbit Hole wades into the uncomfortable and familiar waters of loss and the devices we all use to protect our deepest emotions. The play is set eight months after the tragic accident. Now, in the aftermath of their grief, Becca and Howie must rebuild their tainted relationships with friends, family, and each other, or risk going deeper down the hole.
Rabbit Hole is directed by Justin Lazenby and features Kelly Lazenby, Arthur Delaney, Tracy Grant, Susan Nelle, and Cole Martin in the cast.
