Lindsay-Abaire and Nixon Discuss Rabbit Hole, Feb. 9

Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and actress Cynthia Nixon will discuss Manhattan Theatre Club's Rabbit Hole at the Cole Haan Rockefeller Plaza Store (50th Street at 5th Avenue) at 6PM on February 9, 2006. Patrice Adcroft, Executive Editor of Marie Claire Magazine, will moderate the interview.

 

Rabbit Hole, directed by Daniel Sullivan and featuring Tyne Daly, John Gallagher Jr., Mary Catherine Garrison, Cynthia Nixon, and John Slattery, is currently having its premiere at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway (261 West 47th Street), where it recently opened.

 

"Becca (Nixon) and Howie Corbett (Slattery) have everything they could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down, and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Becca, who must also cope with the distractions of her reckless sister Izzy (Garrison), and their opinionated mother, Nat (Daly), takes solace in her unlikely friendship with a neighborhood teenager, Jason (Gallagher), who might provide the key to lead her back from the darkest of places," state press notes. "The play is a bittersweet drama about finding hope in the lowest moments of our lives, and the paths we take to return to the light of day."

 

Lindsay-Abaire is the author of such plays as Fuddy Meers, Wonder of the World and Kimberly Akimbo.

 

Nixon appeared on Broadway in The Women, The Last Night of Ballyhoo, Indiscretions (Tony nomination), Angels in America, The Heidi Chronicles, Hurlyburly and The Real Thing (simultaneously) and The Philadelphia Story. She became internationally known as Miranda on TV's "Sex and the City."

 

Rabbit Hole's performance Schedule is Tuesday thru Saturday at 8:00PM, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2PM until March 19, 2006.
