Rabbit Hole at the Art Center

Rabbit Hole is a powerful, Pulitzer Prize–winning drama by David Lindsay-Abaire that offers an unflinching yet deeply human look at grief, love, and the long road toward healing. Centered on Becca and Howie, a suburban couple reeling from the sudden, accidental death of their young son Danny, the play explores how tragedy reshapes a marriage—and how two people can experience the same loss in profoundly different ways.

Through scenes that are by turns honest, unexpectedly funny, and quietly devastating, Rabbit Hole examines the ripple effects of bereavement: the strain on a once-stable relationship, the awkwardness of well-meaning friends, the complexities of family bonds, and the isolating nature of profound loss. Lindsay-Abaire’s writing captures the uncomfortable truths of grief with remarkable sensitivity, allowing moments of humor and tenderness to coexist alongside pain.

Rather than offering easy answers, Rabbit Hole invites audiences into an intimate emotional space—one where healing is uneven, hope is tentative, and moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting. The play’s raw authenticity has resonated with audiences worldwide and inspired a critically acclaimed film adaptation, underscoring its enduring relevance and emotional impact.
