Look out, he's got a gun. AMERICAN JACK Minimal Set 1M, 1F A fragmented and theatrical portrait of a Greek survivor of Nazi occupation, who subsequently builds a life for himself in America in the 70's brick by brick.

Synopsis: During the Age of the Rabbit, no one died. That is to say no one died in the typical way we now view death (the mystical removal of life from the body). Instead people became rabbits. This could happen very suddenly, or gradually over a long period of time. But sooner or later everyone became a rabbit. When hard working young farmer Walter suddenly sprouts a fluffy tail, his journey to where all good rabbits go begins, and there is no turning back. Cast Size: 1 Female, 2 Males, 5 Chorus “The world of this play is strange and a little silly, but the issues at its heart are life-and-death: terminal illness and grief.” —San Francisco Gate “Cochran’s writing is full of vivid imagery and almost poetic cadences.” —For All Events
