David Lindsay-Abaire's Rabbit Hole has switched its itinerary from off-Broadway's City Center to Broadway, where it will premiere at MTC's Biltmore Theatre in February in a production directed by Daniel Sullivan.The play traces the aftermath of a tragic accident, and its reverberations on the lives of a young married couple when they are deprived of their child.Lindsay-Abaire is perhaps best known for his play Fuddy Meers, which premiered at MTC before heading off for a hit run at the Minetta Lane Theatre; it is currently being produced as a feature film. Lindsay-Abaire's other darkly comic and provocative works include Wonder of the World (also staged at MTC after premiering in DC and being nominated for an Outstanding New Play of the Year Helen Hayes Award), and Kimberly Akimbo, which after premiering at the South Coast Rep, received the L.A. Drama
Critics Circle Award for playwriting, three Garland Awards, and the
2001 Kesselring Prize.

His other Broadway credits include the recent revival of Julius Caesar, Brooklyn Boy, Sight Unseen, The Retreat from Moscow, the revivals of I'm Not Rappaport, Morning's at Seven, Major Barbara, A Moon for the Misbegotten, and many others.
