We are thrilled to announce the full casting for the UK premiere of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize winning drama Rabbit Hole, which previews from Friday 29 January 2016.

‘If space is infinite, then there are tons of you’s out there, and tons of me’s’

Becca and Howie Corbett are a happy suburban family with everything they could want until a shocking and sudden event turns their world upside down and leaves them drifting perilously apart. Riding the turbulence of domestic life, Becca and Howie must find a way back to each other whilst their unpredictable family tries to bridge the ‘infinite space between’, which life changing events create. David Lindsay-Abaire’s stunning Pulitzer Prize winning drama, filled with distinctive wit and grace, charts the journey of grief and its antidotes – love and hope.
