Michael Shaw Fisher's The Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits has set an Off-Broadway bow via the SoHo Playhouse International Fringe Encore Series. Performances will run March 2-28 at the Off-Broadway company, an encore from the work's run at Hollywood Fringe Festival.
The work takes place at a dinner between two couples that becomes a modern-day class war. Fisher's previous works include Exorcistic, Shakespeare's Last Night Out, and Skullduggery: The Musical Prequel to Hamlet.
The Off-Broadway cast will include Richardson Cisneros-Jones as Carson, Rebecca Larsen as Danielle, Leigh Wulff as Elise, and Schoen Hodges as Bobby. Fisher is directing.
"I gotta be careful with this description…," Fisher says in a cryptic statement. "The Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits relies upon a series of revelations, moment by moment, which creates a steady escalation of surprise, wonder, and horror. To go specifically into those revelations in order to unpack the themes of the show runs the risk of destroying the very surprise that makes The Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits such a fun and unique theatrical experience. I can say that the show centers around the collision of two very different couples, one of whom has a salacious proposal for the other, and which will ultimately explode into a 21st-century class war."
Mia Criss, Alli Miller, and Mark Giberson are producing. Jason Goodman is assistant director and co-producer.
