In Rabbit Hole, Becca Nixon and Howie Corbett John Slattery have everything they could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down, and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Becca, who must also cope with the distractions of her reckless sister Izzy Mary Catherine Garrison, and their opinionated mother, Nat Tyne Daly, takes solace in her unlikely friendship with a neighborhood teenager, Jason John Gallagher Jr., who might provide the key to lead her back from the darkest of places.
Rabbit Hole, directed by Daniel Sullivan, opened to mixed reviews on February 3. In his Broadway.com Review of the production, Rob Kendt wrote: "On its own whimpering terms, the domestic drama Rabbit Hole is a disappointment, tracing about half a stage of grief in a young would-be soccer mom whose four year old was killed by a passing motorist. But as the newest offering, and the Broadway debut, of playwright David Lindsay-Abaire… Rabbit Hole must be counted a major letdown. It's a bit like witnessing South Park drop its ironic mask for a 'very special episode.' While no one should begrudge Lindsay-Abaire the chance to defy expectations, or to stretch out beyond disability shtick and willful quirkiness before they harden into mannerisms, with Rabbit Hole he's tumbled into all the traps of mature, tasteful, Daniel Sullivan-directed theater."
