“In most love stories, a man is pursuing a woman who is hesitating. In that structure, the man is the protagonist and the woman is the antagonist. We have two thousand years of that. Bunny is a whole rewriting of the structure.”

—Hannah Moscovitch

Moving from object towards agent, Sorrel discovers the power of her own desire. Armed only with Victorian Literature and an unconventional upbringing, she struggles to find her way. With Bunny, Moscovitch, dives into societal inhibitions, desire and sex. This Western Canada Premiere stars Emma Slipp.

Moscovitch is the recent winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award for drama.
