Story of a Rabbit

Hoipolloi present Hugh Hughes in
Story of a Rabbit
Here one minute, gone the next…

WINNER Fringe First Award 2007
NOMINEE Total Theatre Award 2007

When Hugh finds his neighbour’s rabbit lying dead in his garden, the only sensible thing to do is to put it in a box. But it doesn’t fit. As he puzzles over what to do with the body he starts to wonder how much of life disappears once we die…

Story of a Rabbit won a prestigious Fringe First Award when it premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Since then, it has toured all over the world to locations as diverse as Singapore, Colombia and the USA.

Combining Hugh’s uniquely charming theatricality and his best friend Aled’s music, Story of a Rabbit lifts the lid on life’s final mystery.

A comic and curiously uplifting new show celebrating the complexities of death.

Originally produced with the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich.
