Lindsay-Abaire Discusses Rabbit Hole at Barnes & Noble, Feb.

Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire will discuss his new play Rabbit Hole at the Lincoln Square Barnes and Noble bookstore (1972 Broadway near Lincoln Center) on February 6, 2006 at 7PM.

The play, directed by Daniel Sullivan and starring Tyne Daly, John Gallagher Jr., Mary Catherine Garrison, Cynthia Nixon, and John Slattery opened last night at the Biltmore Theatre on Broadway (261 West 47th Street) to generally positive reviews.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Daniel Sullivan, the cast features (in alphabetical order): Tyne Daly (Nat), John Gallagher Jr. (Jason), Mary Catherine Garrison (Izzy), Cynthia Nixon (Becca), and John Slattery (Howie).

"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."

The play marks the Broadway debut of Lindsay-Abaire, who has been represented at MTC with productions of Fuddy Meers, Wonder of the World, and Kimberly Akimbo.
