Introduction

The play was about a family of three, mother, father and daughter, all-living in a house, and is quite wealthy, and they have their own chauffeur.  When we arrived, there was conflict between the daughter and the parents, because of her new boyfriend, who is taking the girl out of college, where she is studying law, and teaching her to do rap.  There is always an argument going on, and in nearly every scene, there was a box, which had a rabbit in.  The mother told the daughter that her father has got cancer, and has not got long to live.  At this time the father is in the woods with the boyfriend, looking for firewood.  He then tells the boyfriend that he has got cancer. Meanwhile back at the house, the driver arrives and his son is ill in hospital, and he asks, if he can have time off, to see him and she said, you would have to see my husband, so the driver went looking for the husband in the woods, and eventually finds him.  He then asked him, can I go and see my son, and he said “Yeah”, so they start to make their way out of the woods, and the driver gets a phone call, and its his wife, saying their child has died. He then tells her to put the phone on his cheek, so he can say his good byes.  Then it goes back to the house, where the mother prepares the rabbit, because that is what her husband wanted to eat. They then sit down to eat, as in the last supper, they would have together. Rabbit is Frantic's new show for Autumn 2003, and tours the UK from September to November. Rabbit is a snappy, surreal farce from one of Australia's most promising playwrights, which will leave you feeling battered and bruised but thankful for small mercies. Artistic Director Steven Hoggett discovered this fantastic script whilst holidaying in Sydney last January. The show was about to open at The Griffith Theatre and after having read the script Steve realised he had found the play Frantic had been searching for.

The acting styles were all modern what I mean by this is that they were up-tempo and that they were saying all the new slang words. With traditional outlines, like mum and dad together, and daughter off to university.  The boyfriend had an acting style of off the streets, and from the ghetto, because he was into rap music. You could see all the differences that he would have had to change to take up the role as spin.
