Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rabbit Hole charts Becca and Howie Corbett’s search for comfort following a life-shattering accident that leaves the couple
drifting perilously apart. Can they mend a relationship that’s seeking light on two different trajectories? Will they find peace?
David Lindsay-Abaire has crafted a drama that’s not just a departure but a revelation– an i ntensely emotional examination of grief, laced with wit, insightfulness,
compassion, and searing honesty. – Variety
Rabbit Hole presents a tragedy and its consequences with utter candor, and without sentimentality. The dialogue is most impressive for capturing the awkwardness and
pain of thinking people faced with an unthinkable situation – and eventually, their capacity for survival, and even hope. – USA Today
