Review- Rabbit Hole- HK Rep

Hk Rep took on David Lindsay Abaire's Rabbit Hole this weekend. They had to add extra shows because the show sold out so fast so I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. Abaire's script is about the after effects of losing a child. I have read the play before and seen the (terrible) movie with Nicole Kidman; so I didn't need to have surtitles as I remembered what was going to happen. I always make sure to re-read shows before I see them in a foreign language. It's very a interesting experience to see plays in a language you don't understand, it makes you wonder about how to show has changed in the translation process.

[Hong Kong Repertory Theatre] How does one ride through the storm in the face of the loss of a loved one? Who can fill that gaping hole left by bereavement? The Hong Kong Repertory Theatre presents its season finale—Rabbit Hole—the 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Lindsay-Abaire subsequently adapted into a film starring Nicole Kidman. This production is helmed by HKREP Resident Director Fung Wai Hang featuring special guest star Louisa So and her distinguished stage partner, Poon Chan Leung. The cast also includes such veteran company members as Lui Si Lan, Wong Wai Chi and Ling Man Lung. Together they project emotional finesse and explosive tension onto the stage. Rabbit Hole will be presented at the Shouson Theatre, Hong Kong Arts Centre, from 17^th March to 1^st April. Because of overwhelming advance sales, two performances have been added to the original schedule. Tickets are now available from URBTIX outlets.
