David Linday-Abaire's Rabbit Hole to Receive U.K. Premiere | Playbill

News David Linday-Abaire's Rabbit Hole to Receive U.K. Premiere David Lindsay-Abaire's 2006 Broadway play Rabbit Hole, which won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is to finally receive its U.K. premiere, beginning performances Jan. 29, 2016, prior to an official opening Feb. 4, at London's Hampstead Theatre, for a run through March 5.



The play had previously been announced for a West End production in 2014 that was to have starred "Downton Abbey" actress Joanna Froggatt, but that staging was subsequently canceled.

Hampstead Theatre's production, which will be directed by the theatre's artistic director, Edward Hall, will feature a cast that comprises Alison Steaadman, Claire Skinner, Tom Goodman-Hill, Georgina Rich and Sean Delaney. Lindsay-Abaire's Good People also received its U.K. premiere at Hampstead Theatre, starring Imelda Staunton in a production that subsequently transferred to the West End's Noel Coward Theatre.



In the play, Becca (Skinner) and Howie (Goodman-Hill) are a happy suburban family with everything they could want until a shocking and sudden event turns their world upside down and leaves them drifting perilously apart. Riding the turbulence of domestic life, Becca and Howie must find a way back to each other whilst their unpredictable family tries to bridge the "infinite space between," which life-changing events create.



Skinner was most recently seen in the West End in The Father at Wyndham's Theatre. Other major stage credits include Mrs. Affleck, A Winter's Tale and Othello (all National Theatre), Pinter's Moonlight (Almeida and West End) and The Glass Menagerie (Donmar Warehouse and West End), winning both a London Critics' Circle Award and Time Out Award for Best Actress for the latter.



Goodman-Hill's theatre credits include The Effect and Earthquakes in London (both at the National Theatre), the original production of Enron (Chichester, Royal Court and West End) and the original London cast of Spamalot (for which he was Olivier-nominated). Steadman has previously appeared extensively at Hampstead, including the original production of Mike Leigh's Abigail's Party (and its subsequent TV film version), Losing Louis, Marvin's Room and Uncle Vanya.
