Fresh from a highly successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it won a Fringe First and was nominated for a Total Theatre Award, Story of a Rabbit and its creator Hugh Hughes are returning to Ipswich where the show premièred in June last year at the PULSE Festival.

When Hugh finds his neighbour’s rabbit dead in the garden he doesn’t know what to do. So he puts it in a bag in the shed at the bottom of his garden. But when he finds that the body has disappeared he is forced to confront what happens to us when we die. Combining Hugh’s uniquely charming theatricality and his best friend Aled’s music, Story of a Rabbit lifts the lid on life’s final mystery.

Story of a Rabbit is a co-production between Hoipolloi and the New Wolsey Theatre.

Hugh is excited about coming back to Ipswich; “Aled and I developed this show in Ipswich so we’re very thrilled to come back and hopeful that people who saw it in its early days will come back to see it again. We had an amazing time at the Edinburgh Fringe. It was a real honour to be awarded the Fringe First, which now takes pride of place on my mum’s mantelpiece.”

You can see Hugh on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 May at 7.45pm. To book tickets call the New Wolsey Box Office on 01473 295900 or visit www.wosleytheatre.co.uk
