Rabbit Hole is part of Richmond’s 2009 Acts of Faith Theatre Festival, sponsored by Second Presbyterian Church.
The Story:
In Rabbit Hole, Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want - until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down, and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. In a departure from playwright David Lindsay-Abaire’s more familiar dark comedies, Rabbit Hole charts the bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places, and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day.
