Rabbit Hole Ensemble celebrates its Fifth Anniversary by returning to one of literature’s most influential and horrible stories. Using masks, puppets, Kabuki, and the narrative techniques of story-theatre, this expressionistic gender-bending minimalist adaptation of Mary Shelly’s novel focuses exclusively on the doctor’s point of view.
Rabbit Hole has a reputation for exciting, highly theatrical, and aggressively minimalist twists on classic stories:
“Rabbit Hole Ensemble has atmosphere in spades...Wood's adaptation is ingenious...
The simplicity works like a dream, in fact like a nightmare...The spookiest effects are those we can imagine for ourselves...a grand and spine-tingling production.”
“The ensemble cast proffers a resonant performance through their manipulation of space and sound.”
“The actors create the play's world with mime, manual and oral sound effects, and the creepy amber glare of hand-held lights...With mise-en-scene like this, Wood, Elefterion, and the cast make powerful dark magic.”
Audiences won’t want to miss the birth of a new Rabbit Hole monster.
