After nearly three years away, UND Theatre returns productions to its Lab Theatre space with the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama “Rabbit Hole” by David Lindsay-Abaire.
“Rabbit Hole” deals with a bereaved family trying to maneuver its way through unimaginable grief in the aftermath of a major loss. While the subject matter is heavier in nature, moments of humor are interspersed throughout to provide some comic relief. This Pulitzer-Prize winning drama, which premiered on Broadway in 2006, centers on a seemingly picture-perfect suburban family, Becca and Howie Corbett, and their bittersweet search for comfort after a sudden and tragic accident turns their world upside down.
About David Lindsay-Abaire
After writing mostly absurdist comedies and farcical plays in his early career, one of David Lindsay-Abaire’s mentors at Julliard challenged him to write about something that frightened him. It wasn’t until he married and had a young son that he discovered writing about the death of a 4-year-old boy to be the thing that scared him the most. This shift from comedy toward naturalistic drama earned Lindsay-Abaire’s “Rabbit Hole” several Tony nominations and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2007.
