The Georgetowner: Rabbit Hole
Death and loss is a staple of theater drama and tragedy, of course, and the death of a child only ups the ante, even if it is not unfamiliar stage fare.
Death and loss is a staple of theater drama and tragedy, of course, and the death of a child only ups the ante, even if it is not unfamiliar stage fare.
Under the direction of resident company member Kerri Rambow, Susan Marie Rhea gives a phenomenal performance as Becca, a mother still reeling from the unexpected and accidental loss of her four year-old son Danny almost a year ago.
The pressure is high, but director Kerri Rambow and her team at Keegan are able to do tremendous justice to the much praised script.
Grieving the sudden death of a cherished person is a most personal process, not bound to an expiration date or applied formula. The passage from shock to acceptance is a campaign for control over pain and a rationalization of the unfathomable.
Objects have taken on a terrible significance for Becca and Howie Corbett, the married central characters in David Lindsay-Abaire’s play “Rabbit Hole.”
Rabbit Hole is a tightly woven exploration of grief and forgiveness, and the actors at The Keegan Theatre do a fantastic job of giving the play a life that is touching, heartfelt, and frequently funny.
