...show’s unorthodox approach to language as a means of engaging with the audience, the stage setup is remarkably straightforward. Designed by Courtney E. Thompson ’09, the scenery consists of a whitewashed façade of a two-story home enclosed by a white-picket fence—the quintessential definition of the archetypal middle-class Americana landscape—and the interior of a kitchen. As the action transitions between these two sets, the intended juxtaposition between idyllic fantasy and harsh reality is instantly unsettling, for what Wellman’s script presents...

They swarm the esplanade, carrying picket signs ("The only good human is at the end of a key chain.") The lead bunny is yelling through a megaphone, inciting the crowd, and we are engulfed in a bunny stampede, the annual Billion Bunny March...
