Photo Flash: First Look at Catherine Lamb in BUNNY at White Bear Theatre

I think life can be basically divided into two things: suspense and surprise. I prefer surprise to suspense. But that's basically because I feel suspense all the time. A summer of love. A fight. A car chase. A siege. When Katie's boyfriend is attacked on the streets of Luton, she is propelled outside her borders to the frontier of council estates and concrete jungles. Amidst the sweltering heat, the baying for blood and longing for love, Katie is forced to decide her future.

A vital tale for our times by multi-award winning playwright Jack Thorne, Bunny is an interrogation into the mind of one young girl struggling to find her place within a modern world lacking intimacy and connection. This compelling and thought-provoking show explores a powerful youth voice in Britain. The production, starring Catherine Lamb, is playing White Bear Theatre 7 through 25 March 2017. BroadwayWorld has a first look at Lamb onstage below!

Bunny is a play with a young white woman at its centre - one who loses her underwear in a car on the outskirts of an estate to a bloke she knows nothing about. She doesn't understand that she needs to escape, that she's been sucked in. Now, more than ever, theatre needs to explore stories where women are made to feel powerless, inadequate and submissive. Now, more than ever, theatre needs to explore stories that help us to identify with the state of our nation.

Catherine Lamb, Lucy Curtis and Sophia Nicholson are a trio of up-and-coming female theatre makers seeking to present an unflinching, honest, intimate, vibrant and relatable story of our times. It is a compelling insight into what it is to be growing up today and the inevitable struggles, pressures and pitfalls of vulnerable young people.

Bunny by Jack Thorne, starring Catherine Lamb, runs now through Saturday 25th March 2017, playing Tuesday - Saturday 7pm and Sunday matinees 4pm at White Bear Theatre, 138 Kennington Park Road, London SE11 4DJ. For tickets and more information, visit whitebeartheatre.co.uk.
