(New Westminster, B.C.) – Anvil Theatre is thrilled to present Hannah Moscovitch’s Bunny from Thursday, February 8 to Sunday, February 18, 2024.
Moving from object towards agent, ‘Sorrel’ (Emma Slipp) discovers the power of her own desire. Armed only with Victorian Literature and an unconventional upbringing, she struggles to find her way. With Bunny, Moscovitch dives into societal inhibitions, desire, and sex.
“In most love stories, a man is pursuing a woman who is hesitating,” says Moscovitch. “In that structure, the man is the protagonist and the woman is the antagonist. We have two thousand years of that. Bunny is a whole rewriting of the structure.”
First produced at The Cultch in 2022 by Mindy Parfitt’s The Search Party, Bunny received eight Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations and won four, including Best Production and Best Performance by a Leading Actor.
“Because standing up for everything makes standing ovations meaningless, I hardly ever give them. But I was on my feet at the end of Bunny before I knew it – and I was hollering, Brava! Brava! Brava!” – Colin Thomas | ColinThomas.ca
“It’s funny, smart, literate, and brutally, shamelessly honest.” – Janet Smith | CreateAStir.ca
“Honest emotion and raw carnality make Bunny a smash” – Toronto Star
