"This is heartfelt and insightful stuff that has great power to move. Highly recommended."--Evening Standard

Discover the delightful charm of Welsh actor Hugh Hughes of the ensemble Hoipolloi in this award-winning Edinburgh Fringe Festival hit. A superb storyteller with a taste for wayward narrative threads, he'll surely find instant favor with fans of Improbable or Lone Twin. Hughes serves up the perfect mix of laugh-out-loud humor, the simplest of props, and genuinely touching passages about life's mysteries. In Story of a Rabbit, he politely offers a cup of tea then spins a tragicomic narrative about finding his neighbors' pet rabbit--which he's looking after while they're on vacation--lying dead in his garden. The tale follows a circuitous path to a conclusion that will truly pluck at your heartstrings and leave you with a lingering glow. The Edinburgh Fest calls Story of a Rabbit, "a performance that is memorable as much for its protagonist's overwhelming personal charm, as its status as an uncommonly brilliant piece of theatre."
