Photo Flash: Inside Rehearsals for RABBITS at Park Theatre Starring Karen Ascoe, Alex Ferns, and David Schaal

A new black comedy tale of marital strife and bunny murder comes to Park Theatre from Skins, The News Quiz & Newsjack writer Joe Hampson, who makes his stage writing debut with Rabbits. An exploration of contemporary sexual politics, Rabbits follows the fallout as Frank prepares to save his and Susan's marriage by taking their pet rabbit to be murdered - by a psychopath. With caustic jokes and abominable intentions, the production will run 26 July - 19 August 2017, with an official press night on Friday 28 July.

The production will star Alex Ferns (Legend, The Legend of Tarzan, EastEnders) and David Schaal (The Inbetweeners, The Office), and Karen Ascoe.

When Frank asks a stranger to kill his pet rabbit, it appears to be an isolated act of desperation, mania and warped logic. However, as Frank and Susan delve into their issues and try to repair their spiraling marriage, we see their private lives unravel and the initial bunny slaying takes on a whole new dimension, revealing what is really at the heart of their relationship.
