I'm not sure what I was expecting from Rabbits- the play's summary gave little away and as it's Joe Hampson's stage writing debut there is no back catalogue from which to divine his style. The synopsis simply promised that it would be funny and would explore a couple's relationship. From the moment the play started I was completely captivated-the play isn't funny it's completely hilarious, the entire audience was in stitches throughout. The writing was tight, clever and comepelling and the three actors were all strong and worked well together- Alex Ferns in particular was nothing short of excellent. We follow Frank and Susan's relationship through 3 different scenes all of which examine issues any long term couple might face but the play manages to be instresting, funny and ridiculous all at once. Hampson leaves the connection between the 3 scenes ambiguous which allows for several interpretations of the central relationship and left me and my friends debating it all the way home!
