Dive into 'Rabbit Hole' at Beowulf Alley Theatre

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.05.2009

Considering the tragedy at the center of "Rabbit Hole" — the sudden death of a 4-year-old boy — you'd think that David Lindsay-Abaire's play would be a major downer.
But there's nothing dispiriting about this incredibly human drama, which, if it's done right, also pulses with electric humor.

It's no wonder that it won the 2006 Tony Award for best new play and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Beowulf Alley Theatre's production of "Rabbit Hole," directed by Sara Falconer, opens at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the downtown theater, 11 S. Sixth Ave.
A preview performance (tickets $10) is Friday night at 7:30 p.m., and the run continues Thursdays through Sundays through Nov. 22

Tickets are $20, available by calling 882-0555. Tickets are $18 if purchased online at www.beowulfalley.org
Sunday's matinee performance at 1:30 p.m. will be followed by a discussion with the actors, director and production team.

The cast includes (above, from left) Martie van der Voort, Kristina Sloane, Ian Mortensen, Nell Summers and Gabe Nagy.

See next Friday's Arts section for a review.
