Hugh Hughes in Story of a Rabbit
Hoipolloi Theatre Feeling Connected
Raise a glass to celebrate the final event of the UK Performance Now! series and the Walker’s performing arts season. Arrive early for cheap drinks ($3 beer/$5 wine/$2 sodas) and stay late to celebrate with Hugh Hughes from Story of a Rabbit.
Be there: Walker’s McGuire Theater, 4th Floor, 7 pm (before the show)
Stay late: bar service after the show too
Let’s celebrate!
Two years ago, along with about 800 others jammed into a factory-turned-performance space in Edinburgh, Scotland, I was lucky enough to catch this joyous and inventive theatrical work. I was utterly charmed and disarmed by this effusive central performer “Hugh Hughes” who wove comic and touching tales of death and transcendence, memory and regret, experience and fantasy together with live music, projections, objects and movement.
“At times, Story of a Rabbit is heartbreaking, yet such is Hughes’ infectious optimism you can’t help but leave feeling uplifted and happy to be alive. In fact, Hughes should be prescribed as medicine for depressives.” (Metro UK).
I hope to see you all at the McGuire Theater this coming Thursday – Saturday, May 28-30 for our drink/send-off to the season and Hoipolloi’s stellar performance work Story of A Rabbit.
