cunnicularii

by Sophie McIntosh

Mary is an expectant mother. Mary gives birth to a rabbit. Mary must adjust her expectations.

A piercing fable about the wonder and brutality of motherhood, cunnicularii interrogates the crushing pressure new parents face and questions how much of ourselves we can truly give to our offspring.

    A beautiful and unconventional piece that defies the typical fare by early career playwrights. Sophie McIntosh crafts a fantastic world and builds characters who are once familiar and terrifying. Lyrical, lovely, and empathetic- I am sure this play will be done a thousand times over.

    A delightfully bizarre play!!! Part absurdist comedy, part body horror and part gorgeous meditation on motherhood. You can't help but root for Mary and the family she is dedicated to creating. I hope I get to see this play produced in the near future.

    Absolutely brilliant play that takes a wonderfully truthful look at postpartum depression. Eerie, touching, and empathetic all at once.
